Brandon Young had a remarkable homecoming performance on the mound in the Orioles' shutout win over the Astros on Friday.

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.

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.

Samuel Basallo had an eventful MLB debut, Dean Kremer shoved and the Orioles’ young core went off offensively in a 12-0 win over the Astros.

Urías and the Astros fell 7-0 to the Orioles, from whom Houston acquired the 31-year-old middle infielder 16 days ago.

I respect the effort here in giving a Houston team with playoff pretensions fits, forcing them to empty their bullpen and their bench while winning it, in the end, on a fluke play: a 60-mph dribbler to third by Ramón Urías ( Why did it have to be Ramón?
