On Friday night in Baltimore, Dean Kremer of the Orioles was on the verge of achieving a no-hitter against the Tampa Bay Rays. He maintained a hitless game until the seventh inning, when rookie Junior Caminero opened the frame with a sharp single to left field. Following Caminero's hit, Dylan Carlson added another single to right, and an error by Josh Lowe loaded the bases, prompting manager Brandon Hyde to remove Kremer from the game. Kremer's performance included three walks and seven strikeouts, showcasing his ability to control the game until the seventh inning. This outing marked Kremer's first start since August 31, when he suffered an injury from a comebacker in a previous game against Colorado. The Rays had struggled to make contact throughout the game, with their best chance coming in the sixth inning when Jackson Holliday made a leaping catch to deny Yandy Díaz a hit. Kremer's near no-hitter adds to the excitement of the season, which has already seen four no-hitters, the most recent being completed by the Chicago Cubs just days prior, utilizing a combination of three pitchers. Kremer's performance, despite the no-hit bid ending, highlights his potential and resilience on the mound, setting a positive tone for his future outings.
