The Baltimore Orioles have some of the best young players in baseball on their team. They have done a great job of drafting and developing over the years, and it has helped that they have picked near the top of the draft so often.

The Orioles needed an effective start out of their rotation. They needed a big swing that might deaden their slump. Perhaps they could regain some authority and quiet a few critics.Dean Kremer spun 5 1/3 innings of one-run ball tonight and Jackson Holliday marked his return to the lineup with a grand slam.

Holliday blasted his second career grand slam in the second inning of Baltimore's 9-1 win over Cleveland on Wednesday, and joined Fritzie Connally (1983) and Brian Roberts (2001-03) as the only Orioles to have two of his first seven big league home runs to be grand slams.
