The Orioles and Braves combined for a competitive back-and-forth contest today in Atlanta. The game had it all with lead changes, towering homers, extra innings, and another Orioles catching injury. In the end, Ramón Laureano and backup catcher Jacob Stallings came through in a 9-6 Orioles win.
Dean Kremer failed to build off his recent success working in day games. The righty ran into trouble right away with Matt Olson smacking a one-out double 105 MPH off the bat in the first inning. Kremer followed with a get-me-over type of cutter to Austin Riley, but Riley ambushed the middle-middle first pitch.
