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.

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.

Young recovered to strikeout Taylor Trammell with a 96-mph fastball at the top of the zone to complete the eighth inning. He earned his first win as the Orioles prevailed 7-0, matched his career high with six strikeouts, and lowered his ERA to 5.68.
