“Underdog Lugo Claims Victory: How He Outshone Kremer in a Thrilling Royals Showdown!”
The Orioles are expected to once again be one of the premier teams in the American League, but the East is always a battle and getting off to a bad start can certainly put you behind the proverbial 8-ball. You obviously can’t win your division in April, but you certainly can make it hard as hell to win it later in the year if you play poorly. Luckily for the Orioles, despite them not playing all that well, they are still 3-4 to start the season. The team is hitting the ball well to this point with 11 homers and a .277 batting average, but they are not throwing the ball well. Their pitching staff has a combined ERA of 4.87 and a 1.41 WHIP. The team has issued 24 walks already for the season and hitters are hitting .265 against them. Not a good look to start the season. They send out Dean Kremer to the bump today in hopes that he can lower some of those numbers. Kremer got a win in his first game, despite giving up five earned runs in 5.1 innings. He was better on the road last season than he was at home, but it wasn’t overly significant. Last season he faced the Royals twice and gave up six earned runs in 11 total innings.Â
