Here’s a day-by-day look at how Baltimore's AFL contingent fared:

Oct. 26: Salt River 5, Surprise 1
Dean Kremer capped off his Fall League campaign by tossing 2 1/3 scoreless frames of relief during the championship game Saturday. He stemmed the tide of a Rafters five-run fourth with a strikeout, before working around a leadoff double in the sixth. Baltimore’s No. 8 prospect allowed just one hit and one walk while striking out three. Including the regular season, he recorded 26 strikeouts across 21 1/3 innings while with Surprise.

Rylan Bannon and Mason McCoy, starting at third and second base, respectively, for the Saguaros, combined to go 0-for-7 with three strikeouts.

Oct. 25: Glendale 5, Surprise 3
Rylan Bannon had just one at-bat and reached on an error. Bannon finished his AFL stint with a .200 batting average. Mason McCoy went 0-for-3 and leaves the AFL hitting .219. T.J. Nichting finished 1-for-2 with a run scored and also swiped his first stolen base.

Oct. 24: Surprise 10, Scottsdale 2
Rylan Bannon snapped out of a 2-for-23 skid and improved his average to .202 with a 2-for-5 performance from the three spot in Surprise’s lineup. Mason McCoy delivered a two-out, two-run single to cap the scoring in the Saguaros’ six-run fifth inning before finishing 1-for-6. T.J. Nichting turned in a 2-for-2 performance even though entered the game in the seventh inning as pinch-hitter for Kyle Isbel. David Lebron threw six of 10 pitches for strikes during a perfect eighth inning.

Oct. 23: Mesa 2, Surprise 0
Alex Wells came out of the bullpen firing Wednesday, striking out the first two batters that he faced. Things would ebb a bit in the other direction during his second inning of relief, as he yielded three consecutive hits, but he was the beneficiary of a rundown that kept Mesa off the scoreboard. He has yielded one run through 15 2/3 frames for Surprise, having reeled off seven straight scoreless outings. Cody Carroll also looked strong out of the bullpen, racking up two strikeouts, including one of Fall League home run leader Greg Deichmann (Athletics). The 27-year-old right-hander had walked at least one batter in each of his past four appearances, but was accurate Wednesday, lowering his ERA to 2.08. T.J. Nichting got the start in center field and collected his third hit of the fall with a single in the second. He finished 1-for-3 and now has a hit in three of his past four games.

Oct. 22: Scheduled off day for all Arizona Fall League teams.

Oct. 21: Mesa 4, Surprise 0
Dean Kremer was tagged by Mesa for three runs on seven hits on Monday en route to his first AFL loss for Surprise, but the Orioles’ No. 8 prospect still managed to complete five innings in his longest AFL start. After cruising through the first three frames, Kremer gave up a solo shot to Fall League home run leader Greg Deichmann in the fourth and then allowed two more runs in the fifth. The 23-year-old right-hander finished with no walks and six strikeouts, another AFL-best total for him, and threw 49 of 72 pitches for strikes. It was the first time Kremer, who picked off two runners at first base, allowed multiple runs in an outing, and he entered the game having yielded just six hits in 14 innings. Overall, Kremer has compiled a 2.37 ERA and 23/4 K/BB in 19 innings.

Rylan Bannon collected a hit for just the second time in his past seven games, going 1-for-3 on Monday. He’s just 2-for-23 during the stretch, which has moved his Fall League average to .192. Mason McCoy went 0-for-4 and has been mired in a similar slump, tallying just one hit in his last 20 at-bats for the Saguaros.

Oct. 20: Salt River 2, Surprise 1 (10 innings)
Mason McCoy did not have his best showing of the Fall League season, striking out three times in an 0-for-4 day at the plate batting out of the No. 2 spot in the lineup. T.J. Nichting fared a bit better, singling once in three trips to the plate.

Oct. 19: Salt River 8, Surprise 1
Rylan Bannon was held hitless for the fifth time in his past six games as he turned in an 0-for-4, three-strikeout performance from the three spot in Surprise’s lineup. Right-hander David Lebron allowed a solo home run but otherwise pitched well, racking up three strikeouts in two innings out of the bullpen for Surprise. It was just the second time in eight Fall League appearances that Lebron has been scored upon, and, overall, he’s registered a 3.55 ERA in 12 2/3 innings. Cody Carroll, following Lebron out of the Saguaros’ bullpen, delivered a scoreless frame, and Alex Wells posted two perfect innings with one strikeout to lower his ERA to a miniscule 0.66.

Oct. 18: Surprise 3, Glendale 1
It took a few innings, but the Orioles’ infield duo of Rylan Bannon and Mason McCoy made their presence felt for Surprise. Bannon, who entered the game 1-for-16 over his past five outings, tied the game in the eighth with a lined single to left field. Bannon was able to swipe second with McCoy in the box, before coming around to score on McCoy’s rocket into center that extended the Saguaros’ lead. Both finished 1-for-3 with an RBI and a walk.

Oct. 11: Surprise 2, Scottsdale 0
T.J. Nichting recorded his first AFL hit when he laced a double down the right field line in the sixth inning of Surprise’s win against Scottsdale. He came around to score the Saguaros’ first run and finished 1-for-2. David Lebron recorded a strikeout during a 1-2-3 seventh to earn his first Fall League save.

Oct. 10: Surprise 3, Scottsdale 1
Alex Wells got his first start for the Saguaros, and the 22-year-old left-hander threw three scoreless innings, allowing four hits and striking out four. He was consistently around the zone in the outing, throwing 32 of 45 pitches for strikes, and he kept Scottsdale’s hitters off balance by effectively spotting his 87-90 mph fastball to set up his low-70s curveball and low-80s changeup, both of which he consistently commanded at the bottom (or below) the zone. With the performance, the Australian-born southpaw improved his ERA to 0.84 through 10 2/3 innings in the Fall League. The first man out of the bullpen for Surprise was Dean Kremer, and the 23-year-old right-hander worked a perfect frame with two strikeouts, lowering his fall ERA to 1.80.

Rylan Bannon went 0-for-4 with a strikeout against the Scorpions, lowering his fall average to .220. Mason McCoy had an 0-for-3 day, walking once and striking out once, and T.J. Nichting also went 0-for-3 with a walk and a strikeout.

Oct. 9: Surprise 12, Mesa 10
Rylan Bannon led Surprise’s offensive outburst against Mesa with a homer and a double as part of a 3-for-6 day, also driving in three and scoring two runs in the affair. Mason McCoy added three hits of his own with a double, two singles and a walk in the win. The second baseman also scored a run.

Oct. 5: Glendale 2, Surprise 0
Rylan Bannon has hits in three of his past four games after Saturday’s 1-for-4 performance and is now hitting .209 in the AFL. Mason McCoy was unable to get anything going offensively (0-for-4), but he is still hitting .300 through eight games this fall. T.J. Nichting went 0-for-4.

Oct. 4: Glendale 7, Surprise 6 (11 innings)
Dean Kremer yielded a tough-luck triple to lead off the game, but he held down the fort from there, limiting Glendale to just one run over four frames. He finished with two hits and one walk allowed, having struck out two batters during his third AFL start. Over nine innings in Arizona, the Orioles’ No. 8 prospect has compiled a 2.00 ERA. Rylan Bannon’s difficult day at the dish was best summed up by his line drive in the 10th that went for an unassisted double play, rather than a game-winning hit. He went 0-for-5, lowering his average to .205.

**Oct. 3: **Scheduled day off for all Arizona Fall League teams.

Oct. 2: Surprise 8, Mesa 7

The 2017 sixth-rounder also scored the first run of the game, and he’s slashing .346/.469/.462 over seven games. Rylan Bannon, batting third, went 1-for-5 and scored in the three-run first inning. He also made a spectacular diving catch in the eighth to rob Mesa of a leadoff hit. Alex Wells delivered 1 2/3 frames of scoreless ball in his fourth Fall League outing. The 22-year-old Australian southpaw yielded two hits and two walks while striking out two, lowering his ERA to 1.35 in the process. He has now delivered a scoreless outing in three of his four appearances with Surprise. After giving up four runs in his first AFL appearance, David Lebron has now strung together three straight scoreless relief appearances.

He’s pitched to a 1.80 ERA with eight strikeouts between his two starts. David Lebron worked two scoreless frames in relief of Kremer. The 26-year-old right-hander showed an intriguing two-pitch combo -- a 93-94 mph fastball and swing-and-miss slider at 84-85 -- as he struck out two and walked three.

McCoy, a sixth-round pick from the 2017 Draft, continued his hot start in the Fall League with a 4-for-5 night at the plate. The 24-year-old also scored a trio of runs and is hitting .556 during the early goings of the Fall League.

Sept. 20: Surprise 4, Salt River 1
Right-hander Dean Kremer got the start for Surprise and tossed two scoreless innings, allowing two hits and no walks while striking out three. He pitched across three levels in the Orioles’ system this season, but thrived during his time for Double-A Bowie, posting a 2.98 ERA with 87 strikeouts in 84 2/3 innings pitched. The 2016 MLB Draft pick out of UNLV was originally selected by the Dodgers, but he was traded to Baltimore as a part of the Manny Machado deal. Alex Wells followed Kremer on the mound and was equally effective. Wells, whom the Orioles signed in 2015, struck out the side in the third, and although he gave up two hits to open the fourth, he escaped the inning unscathed. Wells threw 23 of his 32 pitches for strikes and struck out four over two innings.
