Overview
- Rookie Brandon Young retired the first 23 batters before Ramón Urías’s eighth-inning infield single ended his bid for a perfect game.
- Young threw eight scoreless innings with six strikeouts on 93 pitches to earn Baltimore’s 7-0 victory over Houston.
- The infield hit by Urías, acquired from Baltimore at the trade deadline, was the Astros’ only hit in the game.
- Young recorded his first major-league win after a 0-6 start to the season and improved to 1-6 in his career.
- Key defensive plays by Gunnar Henderson, Greg Allen and Young himself preserved the bid until the eighth inning.
