Kremer has performed well at times, allowing one run or less three times, including a game where he pitched a season-high seven innings. But he has also now allowed five or more earned runs in three out of his 11 starts.
Westburg has been one of the Orioles’ steadiest players since his debut just over a year ago. He’s hitting .281 with 14 home runs, and is a near-daily fixture at second or third base.
Even though a whole handful of Orioles were runners-up in the fan vote, players and the commissioner's office whiffed on the reserve selections. Jordan Westburg and Craig Kimbrel should be especially aggrieved.
There’s pressure with this opportunity, too. Britton is used to throwing to Henderson when the stadium is quiet. Now, they’ll be center stage at Globe Life Field.
