Orioles right-hander Young loses perfect-game bid on infield single in the 8th inning vs Astros
Baltimore Orioles right-hander Brandon Young lost his bid for a perfect game against the Houston Astros on Friday night with two out in the eighth inning on an infield hit by Ramon Urias
Baltimore rookie right-hander Brandon Young lost his bid for the first perfect game in Orioles history with four outs remaining in a 7-0 win over the Astros.
When Baltimore Orioles rookie Brandon Young took the mound Friday night for the 11th time in his big league career, he was still waiting for his first MLB win. Instead, he flirted with baseball immortality.
On his 24th batter of the game against the Houston Astros, Young allowed an infield hit to infielder Ramón Urías, whom the Orioles traded to Houston at the deadline. Urías hit a soft grounder to Young's right, just far away enough that he had to make a rushed and off-balance throw that veered wide of first base, allowing the batter to reach second.
