Falls apart in sixth inning
Kremer took a no-decision against the Phillies on Sunday, allowing four runs on five hits and two walks in 5.1 innings. He struck out six.
Analysis
It was smooth sailing for Kremer on Sunday until the sixth inning, when the Phillies plated four runs to spoil his otherwise strong outing prior to that point. The right-hander has been a solid addition to Minnesota's rotation since coming over at the trade deadline, delivering a 3.12 ERA, 0.85 WHIP and 15:5 K:BB over his first 17.1 innings for the Twins. Kremer is set to carry a season 5.40 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 53:16 K:BB across 53.1 frames into a tough road matchup in San Diego.

Dominates former team in win
Kremer (2-4) earned the win against the Orioles on Monday, allowing one run on one hit and one walk in seven innings. He struck out seven.
Analysis
Facing the team that traded him away a bit over a week ago, Kremer looked very comfortable on the mound against his former Baltimore teammates. The right-hander poured in 60 of his 89 offerings for strikes, putting together his longest outing of the year in his first quality start since July 1 versus the White Sox. Kremer has conceded just a pair of runs in his first 12 innings for the Twins, and he'll try to further improve his 5.25 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 47:14 K:BB over 48 frames in 2026 this weekend against Philadelphia.
