Mystery solved why he was shaking his hand and looking in pain his last two starts.

* Kremer had a bandage around his right middle finger yesterday after receiving further treatment for a blister that popped up a couple of starts ago.
Though Kremer dominated the Reds Sunday with one hit allowed in six scoreless innings, he could be seen flexing and shaking the hand. Nothing that warranted a mound visit or his removal. No big deal.
“It wasn’t going to take me out of the game,” he said.
“That was the worst, but it’s manageable,” he said. “It developed the last start. We had to take it down all the way until it was raw skin and kind of build it back up.”
Still odd that Ben and Kevin didn’t pick up on this at all during his start.
