May 2, 2025; Baltimore, Maryland, USA; Baltimore Orioles pitcher Dean Kremer (64) throws the ball during the first inning against the Kansas City Royals at Oriole Park at Camden Yards. Mandatory Credit: Daniel Kucin Jr.-Imagn Images Baltimore’s Dean Kremer threw seven shutout innings and Ryan O’Hearn broke up a scoreless tie with a two-run, seventh-inning home run as the Orioles beat the visiting Kansas City Royals 3-0 in the opener of a three-game series Friday night.
Yennier Cano and Felix Bautista each pitched an inning of relief to complete the combined four-hitter.
O’Hearn and Ryan Mountcastle had two hits apiece for the Orioles, who have won three of their last four games.
Michael Wacha matched Kremer through six innings before the Orioles got on the board.
Kremer (3-4), who entered the game with a 7.04 ERA in 6 starts, limited the Royals to three hits and one walk with two strikeouts.
Bautista was credited with his sixth save. The Royals were shut out for the fourth time this season.
Kansas City’s Michael Massey and Freddy Fermin posted two hits apiece, but the Royals lost for just the second time in their last 11 games. Massey’s second-inning double was the only extra-base hit for Kansas City.
Wacha (1-4) had thrown six scoreless innings Saturday against Houston, so he was in a groove as well. But his line ended up at three runs on seven hits with a walk and three strikeouts in 6 1/3 innings.
The teams combined for six hits through five scoreless innings, which were completed in less than an hour.
Adley Rutschman led off the bottom of the seventh with a double and O’Hearn, the next batter, homered to center field. It was O’Hearn’s sixth home run of the season.
Two of the next three batters reached base against Wacha, who was replaced by Steven Cruz. After Heston Kjerstad’s single loaded the bases, Emmanuel Rivera, playing in just his second big-league game of the season, provided a run-scoring single before Cedric Mullins lined into an inning-ending double play.
Despite the limited offense, each team struck out just four times.

Youri Tielemans is now Aston Villa’s most important player
“Our best player this season by a mile,” was John McGinn’s typically punchy assessment.Youri Tielemans has become Aston Villa’s marathon man. On he goes, hitting the road hard and relentlessly striving. Occasionally, bouts of exhaustion are visible, where his shoulders begin to sway side to side and knees — especially one of them, which he has been managing an issue with — look slightly heavy.AdvertisementIn the end, though, his quality prevails. Tielemans has, as McGinn put it, been Villa’s best player. Fifty-two starts in 54 matches for a 27-year-old central midfielder shows incredible durability — last month he became the first Villa player to start more than 50 games in a single season since Alan Wright and Mark Bosnich in the 1995-1996 campaign — but focusing on this would belie his technical ability.Following a slow-going debut campaign after arriving from […]

Cubs letting Pete Crow-Armstrong be himself as he blossoms into stardom
MILWAUKEE — Chicago Cubs baseball fans might be watching the emergence of a star.In Saturday evening’s 6-2 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers, Pete Crow-Armstrong once again took center stage. The white-hot talent slugged a big three-run homer that gave the Cubs a 4-1 lead in the fourth inning as they moved to 21-13 on the season and won another series. It was Crow-Armstrong’s third homer of the weekend and ninth of the season as the young center fielder continues an early-season tear that has him blossoming into one of the best players in the game.Advertisement“This is star-level production, no question about it,” manager Craig Counsell said. “It’s been the power lately. But great players can affect the game in a lot of ways, and Pete has that ability. Sometimes it’s the defense, sometimes it’s the base running. He’s in a […]

Other star players including Cristiano Ronaldo, Iker Casillas and Alfredo Di Stefano have all been whistled at some point by the Spanish club’s fans.So what is behind it and what does it tell us about the pressures of playing for Madrid?In England, players are booed; in Spain, they are whistled.It goes beyond football to the world of bullfighting, which has deep roots in Spain.
