Kremer stymies Yankees in MLB debut for Orioles in 5-1 win

BALTIMORE (AP) — Dean Kremer allowed one hit over six innings in his major league debut, DJ Stewart homered off Masahiro Tanaka and the Baltimore Orioles beat the skidding New York Yankees 5-1 on Sunday.

New York committed two errors, allowed three unearned runs and finished with only four hits. The Yankees lost three of four to Baltimore and have gone 5-13 since opening 16-6.

The Orioles had lost 19 straight to the Yankees before winning the final three games of this series.

The 24-year-old Kremer came to the Orioles organization in July 2018 as part of the trade that sent Manny Machado to the Los Angeles Dodgers. Kremer worked his way through Baltimore's minor league system and finally reached the point where the rebuilding club wanted to see what he could do in the big leagues.

The right-hander did not disappoint. He allowed one run, walked three and struck out seven — including the first two batters he faced.

Kremer's lone brush with trouble came in the second inning, when New York used two walks and a single by Miguel Andújar to load the bases with one out. Erik Kratz drove in a run with a force play at third before Kremer struck out Tyler Wade.

After that, Kremer (1-0) retired 10 straight, then walked Luke Voit in the sixth. He ended his outing by retiring Brett Gardner on a flyball and striking out cleanup hitter Clint Frazier.

Stewart gave the Orioles an early lead, hitting a drive over the right-field wall after Hanser Alberto led off the first inning with a bunt single. It was the third homer in two days for Stewart, who was 0 for 17 for the season before going on his long-ball tear.

A botched grounder in the sixth by Andújar at third base led to a pair of tainted runs and a 4-1 lead.

Tanaka (1-2) gave up four runs, two earned, and six hits in 5 1/3...
