The Orioles recalled Dean Kremer from Triple-A Norfolk to make tonight’s start in Cleveland. Reliever Travis Lakins Sr. was optioned yesterday.

Kremer is 0-5 with a 6.87 ERA and 1.658 WHIP in nine games. His last appearance was May 25 in Minnesota, when he allowed five runs and six hits with three walks in four innings.

Valaika-HR-Swing-Fenway-Gray-Sidebar.jpgAustin Hays and Maikel Franco are out of the lineup. DJ Stewart is in left field and Pat Valaika is playing third base.

Hays felt his hamstring grab while making a catch in right-center field during Saturday’s game against the Rays, but he played yesterday.

Cedric Mullins returns to center field and the leadoff spot after sitting out yesterday’s loss, the 15th in a row on the road. Trey Mancini is the designated hitter,

Ryan Mountcastle is the first baseman and Pedro Severino is catching.

Indians rookie right-hander Jean Carlos Mejía is making his sixth appearance and third start. He’s allowed four runs and six hits with four walks and 10 strikeouts in 8 2/3 innings.

Mejía started at Camden Yards on June 4 and tossed three scoreless innings with two hits. His next start, in St. Louis, lasted only two-thirds of an inning and he allowed four runs and three hits with two walks.

The Orioles won two of three games in the series against the Indians.
