Kremer (0-1) took the loss against the Yankees on Tuesday, surrendering three runs on five hits and four walks while striking out five over three innings.
Despite working his way into a first-inning jam by loading the bases with no outs, Kremer struck out the next three Yankees to finish off the inning blemish-free. After veteran Jay Bruce got to Kremer in the second inning with a solo home run, the 25-year-old held it together until the fourth, when he walked three straight batters, prompting his exit from the game. Kremer debuted in the majors in September of last season, going 1-1 with a 4.92 ERA. He then struggled with his command during spring training, issuing 12 walks in 18.2 innings. He'll look to turn things around Monday at Seattle.
