Kremer (6-3) took the loss against Milwaukee on Wednesday, allowing six runs on nine hits and no walks while striking out five batters over five innings.
Kremer had been pitching well coming into the contest, posting a 2.55 ERA and 1.27 WHIP across 35.1 innings over his previous six starts. He couldn't maintain that momentum against Milwaukee, surrendering a season-high six runs and lasting just five frames. Kremer's next start is tentatively scheduled to come at home against Toronto.

Rotowire
Kremer (6-2) earned the win Friday, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks over six innings against San Francisco. He struck out six.
Kremer had a terrible April, posting a 6.67 ERA, but he has lowered it down to 4.43 with six consecutive starts of at least five innings while allowing three runs or less.

While he is not going to provide elite strikeout numbers, his K/9 has jumped from 6.25 last season to 7.48 in 2023. Kremer is scheduled to face the Brewers in his next start.

Rotowire
Kremer (3-1) allowed one run on six hits and two walks over six innings Friday, striking out three and earning a win over Atlanta.

Orioles' Dean Kremer: Hit with first loss
Rotowire
Kremer (2-1) took the loss in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Tigers as the Orioles fell 7-4. He coughed up five runs on 11 hits and two walks over five innings while striking out six.
Nine of the hits were singles and Kremer kept the ball in the park, but the poor result can't be dismissed as just bad luck. The right-hander has given up at least four runs in five of his six starts so far this season, and his 6.67 ERA and 1.58 WHIP through 29.2 innings could put his rotation spot in jeopardy, although Baltimore doesn't seem to have any obvious alternatives at the moment with DL Hall still trying to sharpen his control at Triple-A. Kremer will try to minimize the damage in his next outing, but that could be a tall order as it currently lines up to come next weekend in Atlanta.

Orioles' Dean Kremer: Hangs on for second win
Rotowire
Kremer (2-0) picked up the win Monday, giving up four runs on seven hits and a walk over 5.2 innings in a 5-4 victory over the Red Sox. He struck out five.
The right-hander had a rocky start to the game and dug the O's a 4-0 hole after three innings, serving up long homers to Triston Casas and Rafael Devers along the way. However, Kremer regained his focus over the next few frames and gave his offense a chance to wake up. While his undefeated record is nice, the 27-year-old will take a less appealing 6.20 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 19:7 K:BB through 24.2 innings into his next start, likely to come this weekend in Detroit.

Orioles' Dean Kremer: Sleeper pitchers for Week 5 (April 24-30)
Rotowire
Dean Kremer has shown improved velocity this year, and it finally paid off with 6 2/3 shutout innings against the Nationals last time out. He has another plush matchup at Detroit this week, but he'll have to get past the Red Sox first. Still, two starts is generally better than one.

Orioles' Dean Kremer: Blanks Washington
Rotowire
Kremer (1-0) earned the win Tuesday, allowing four hits and no walks over 6.2 scoreless innings in a 1-0 victory over Washington. He struck out six.
Kremer had no issues with the Nationals' lineup, allowing just four singles as he picked up his first win of the season. It's a solid bounce-back outing for Kremer, who allowed 13 runs over his first three starts this year, but the quality of the opposition Tuesday should be taken into account. The 27-year-old right-hander lowered his ERA to 6.16 with a 1.37 WHIP and 14:6 K:BB in 19 innings.

Orioles' Dean Kremer: Settles for no-decision Friday
Rotowire
Kremer didn't factor into the decision in Friday's 7-6 win over the Yankees, giving up four runs on five hits and three walks over five-plus innings. He struck out four.
The right-hander avoided any damage in the first three innings despite allowing baserunners in each frame, but Kremer's luck began to run out in the fourth and he was briefly on the hook for the loss when the Yankees took a 5-4 lead in the sixth. Kremer tossed 52 of 87 pitches for strikes, and this outing was still an improvement on his first of the year, when he coughed up five runs in three innings against the Red Sox. He'll carry a 10.13 ERA into his next outing, likely to come next week at home against the A's.

Orioles' Dean Kremer: Home opener Thursday postponed
Rotowire
Thursday's game between the Orioles and Yankees has been postponed due to the forecast of severe inclement weather. The game will be made up Friday.
Thursday was supposed to be the home opener for the Orioles, but because of the forecast that game will be delayed at least a day. Dean Kremer was scheduled to start for Baltimore against Clarke Schmidt, and both arms will likely get the ball Friday instead.

Orioles' Dean Kremer: Ineffective against Boston
Rotowire
Kremer didn't factor into the decision after allowing five runs on six hits and three walks over three innings Saturday against the Red Sox. He struck out three.
Kremer was provided with plenty of run support with the Orioles scoring seven runs against Chris Sale while he was on the mound, but he wasn't able to work deep enough to qualify for a decision. The right-hander gave up two homers in the contest -- one to Adam Duvall and one to Alex Verdugo. He's scheduled to be back on the mound next week in a home start against the Yankees.

Orioles' Dean Kremer: Goes four innings Friday
Rotowire
Kremer allowed two runs on three hits and struck out three over four innings in Friday's Grapefruit League win over the Twins.
Kremer allowed back-to-back solo home runs in the second inning. The right-hander made one appearance for Israel at the World Baseball Classic, a scoreless four-inning start. He appears to be in good form as spring training ramps up into competition for roster spots on Opening Day. Kremer should have an inside track to a place in the middle of the rotation after posting a solid 3.23 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 87:34 K:BB over 125.1 innings a year ago.

Orioles' Dean Kremer: Will pitch once before WBC
Rotowire
Kremer will get into one of the Orioles' early Grapefruit League games before he goes to pitch for Israel at the World Baseball Classic, Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Kremer is in the mix for a spot in the middle of the Orioles' rotation, but he'll be out of camp for at least part of the spring. Manager Brandon Hyde will get at least one look at the right-hander before he leaves for international play. Kremer started 21 of his 22 appearances last season and looked solid with a 3.23 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 87:34 K:BB across 125.1 innings, and he finished the year strong, so he should have an inside edge for a starting role in 2023.

Orioles' Dean Kremer: Inefficient through five innings
Rotowire
Kremer (8-6) took the loss against Boston on Wednesday, allowing three runs on six hits and four walks with two strikeouts over five innings.
Kremer was not at his best Wednesday, as he needed 95 pitches to get through five innings. He was all over the place, as he threw only 53 strikes and allowed four free passes, the second time he has surpassed that mark in his last three starts after allowing no more than three in any other start this season. Despite the inefficiency on the night, he still owns a solid 3.17 ERA and will try to get back on track in his next start, tentatively scheduled for next week against Toronto.

Orioles' Dean Kremer: Shuts out Astros
Rotowire

Kremer never found himself in much danger during Friday's dominant outing. He tossed 700 of 106 pitches for strikes and forced 16 whiffs.

Kremer has given up three or fewer runs in eight straight outings, posting a 2.29 ERA over 51 frames during that stretch. He's lined up to take the mound in Boston next week.

Orioles' Dean Kremer: Navigates lack of control Sunday
Rotowire
Kremer allowed two runs on four hits, five walks and a hit batsman while striking out three in 5.2 innings in a 5-4 win Sunday in Toronto. He did not factor into the decision.
Kremer managed to give up just two runs despite allowing 10 of the 25 batters he faced to reach safely. A line-drive triple play in the third inning ended one threat, as did some timely groundouts. After walking 11.3 percent of batters in his first two big-league seasons, the 26-year-old had demonstrated excellent control over his first 99.2 innings this year, walking only 5.4 percent of opponents. Sunday's five walks were his most of the season and just the second time he walked more than two in an outing. His next start will likely be next weekend against Houston.
