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.

When Baltimore Orioles rookie Brandon Young took the mound Friday night for the 11th time in his big league career, he was still waiting for his first MLB win. Instead, he flirted with baseball immortality.

Baltimore's Brandon Young had a career 0-6 record with a 6.70 ERA before Friday. But on Friday, he nearly threw a perfect game against the Astros.

The Baltimore Orioles have some serious young talent on the roster. A perfect managerial hire would be a young guy in his own right.

Samuel Basallo is a catcher by trade, but he can also play first base and his bat is more than good enough to land him at designated hitter.

On Friday, Orioles rookie right-hander Brandon Young came within four outs of a perfect game. On Saturday, Baltimore called up outfielder Dylan Beavers (the club’s No. 3 prospect per MLB Pipeline), who then made his big league debut.
