Dean Kremer pitched 6 1/3 shutout innings as the Baltimore Orioles beat the visiting Tampa Bay Rays 6-0 to open a three-game series Tuesday night.

Colton Cowser hit a two-run home run to highlight the offense for Baltimore (74-83), who are trying to escape the American League East Division cellar by catching the Rays (76-81).
