BALTIMORE — The Orioles’ second half began much like the first half ended. Baltimore’s starting pitcher tossed a quality start, the offense blasted three home runs and the bullpen held the lead.
The Orioles extended the five-game winning streak they ended the first half with to six Friday with a 5-2 win over the Miami Marlins at Camden Yards. Dean Kremer tossed six stellar innings, Cedric Mullins and Adam Frazier accounted for all the offense and All-Star closer Félix Bautista slammed the door in the ninth.
Kremer allowed just two hits and struck out eight to extend the rotation’s streak of pitching at least six innings to eight consecutive starts. Seven of the eight, including Kremer’s on Friday, have been quality starts.
