It's just three starts and he has a lengthy track record of mediocrity but Kremer has been kind of fantastic these first three starts off the IL?

He has, and somehow 5 of the 12 hits he's allowed have been homers.

Over the last 3 starts, Rea pitched pretty well.  Hopefully, he keeps doing that.

5 homers in 3 games?  He would fit right in with our starters.   ERA still very respectable in his small sample given that number of homers.
