It remains to be seen whether the Orioles have the pitching to emerge as true contenders this season. But if Dean Kremer’s outing tonight in Washington was any indication of what’s to come, the outlook is suddenly looking a whole lot sunnier.
Kremer’s dazzling outing carried the Birds on a night when their offense was uncharacteristically quiet, leading the O’s to a 1-0 victory in the series opener against the Nationals.
After Kremer’s rocky first three starts, in which he often got himself into trouble by nibbling around the strike zone instead of attacking hitters, the Orioles wanted to see him be more aggressive this time around.
