The Orioles’ bullpen, bats and defense all faltered in the late innings Saturday night, wasting Dean Kremer’s gem in a fourth straight loss.

A fast start tonight by the Orioles would have to set a pace that didn’t let the Rays pass them. It was a dangerous little game that was destined to cause a crash.Three of the first four batters reached and the Orioles scored twice before the bats were tamed again,

The Orioles raced out to an early 2-0 lead and got seven excellent innings from their starter, only for the bats and bullpen to doom Baltimore to another loss.
