Baltimore's Brandon Young watched the Astros while growing up in Lumberton. He got his first MLB win in Houston in almost perfect fashion.

Rookie right-hander Brandon Young lost his bid for a perfect game with two outs in the eighth inning yet secured his first career victory as the visiting Baltimore Orioles rode home runs from Coby Mayo and Dylan Carlson to a 7-0 win over the Houston 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.
