Starting pitcher Dean Kremer surrendered a walk to open the bottom of the second and four singles later had allowed three Milwaukee runs. The Brewers hit back-to-back doubles in the fifth to increase the lead to 4-1. Kremer managed to stop the bleeding in the fifth but gave up a leadoff triple in the sixth only to be relieved a batter later. He finished with a line of 5.1 innings pitched, four runs allowed on 9 hits with 2 walks and 6 strikeouts.
Cedric Mullins (1 for 3, HR, R, 3 RBI, BB, SB) hit a three run homer in the seventh to tie the contest at four apiece only to see Yennier Cano (0-4) give up a run in the eighth and record the loss. The line on Cano was 1 run allowed on 1 hit with a walk in 1.0 inning of relief.
Jackson Holliday went 1 for 5 and Ramon Urias went 1 for 4 with 1 run scored.
With the loss the Orioles are only percentage points ahead of the Pittsburgh Pirates (15-33) for the third worse record in MLB. Is it too soon to start the Ethan Holliday draft watch?
