You can try to blame the rain or the city connect uniforms, but the Orioles never showed up in this one. Dean Kremer struggled from the jump, the offense wasted early opportunities, and Baltimore never put up a fight during an 8-1 loss against the Twins.
Kremer never demonstrated a strong command for his pitches. Several misfires led to deep counts, and middle-middle pitches resulted in long balls. Kremer’s seven earned runs tied a career high from his rookie season, and the abridged outing required six innings of work from the bullpen.
Carlos Correa kicked off the game with a single to center.
