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.
Young recovered to strikeout Taylor Trammell with a 96-mph fastball at the top of the zone to complete the eighth inning. He earned his first win as the Orioles prevailed 7-0, matched his career high with six strikeouts, and lowered his ERA to 5.68.
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.
Brandon Young had a remarkable homecoming performance on the mound in the Orioles' shutout win over the Astros on Friday.
Jordan Westburg hit a three-run homer among four hits with a career-best five RBIs and Dean Kremer pitched seven sharp innings to give the Baltimore Orioles a 12-0 win over the Houston Astros on Sunday.
