Dean Kremer strikes out ten, but Orioles fall

Dean Kremer had a mixed outing in Sunday's 9-2 loss to the Diamondbacks. He allowed three earned runs on four hits and four walks while striking out ten over 5.2 innings.

Fantasy Impact

Despite the high strikeout count, Kremer's control issues continued, as evidenced by the four walks, contributing to his early exit and loss. His season ERA slightly increased to 3.72, but his impressive 9.2 K/9 rate and low 1.02 WHIP continue to make him a valuable fantasy asset, especially in leagues that heavily reward strikeouts. However, his elevated 4.74 FIP suggests some underlying concerns that could affect his performance stability moving forward. Fantasy managers should monitor his walk rates closely, as they could undermine his otherwise solid outings.
