BALTIMORE (AP) — Orioles right-hander Dean Kremer had his no-hit bid end in the seventh inning against the Tampa Bay Rays on Friday night.

Kremer kept the Rays hitless until rookie Junior Caminero led off the seventh with a sharp single to left. Dylan Carlson then grounded a single into right field, and after Josh Lowe reached on an error to load the bases, Kremer was lifted my manager Brandon Hyde.

Kremer has walked three and struck out seven. Prior to Caminero's single, the closest the Rays have come to getting a hit was in the sixth inning, when Orioles second baseman Jackson Holliday leaped to catch a liner off the bat of Yandy Díaz.

This was Kremer’s first start since Aug. 31, when he was struck in the arm by a comebacker in a game against Colorado.

There have been four no-hitters this season, the last on Wednesday by the Chicago Cubs, who used three pitchers to complete the feat.
