August 15, 2025
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. Urias hit a slow dribbler toward third base side that Young fielded. Young grabbed the ball and threw wildly to first, and the play was ruled a single and an error. Young, who entered the game 0-6 with a 6.70 ERA through the first 10 starts of his MLB, struck out six through eight innings while throwing 93 pitches, 61 for strikes. Baltimore leads Houston 7-0.
