Dean Kremer’s demotion to the minor leagues hasn’t done much to help the former top 10 prospect find his form. Kremer was roughed up again, allowing eight runs, five earned, on six hits in 3.1 innings, giving up three home runs in the process. He’s 0-3 with a 7.20 ERA as a member of the Tides.
Bright spots were J.C. Escarra, who went 2-for-4 with his second home run, and Brett Cumberland, who had a two-run shot that provided Norfolk with its final runs. Mason McCoy went 2-for-5 with two doubles.
