Houston Astros, Baltimore Orioles and Young
Digest more
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.
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.
For Cade Povich and Brandon Young, the rest of the season will be a chance to prove what they can do. "There's a lot of equal standing right now for guys," Orioles interim manager Tony Mansolino said.
