Young later told reporters in the Orioles’ clubhouse he did make a change, throwing a slider instead of his cutter.

Baltimore rookie right-hander Brandon Young lost his bid for the first perfect game in Orioles history with four outs remaining Friday night in a 7-0 win over the Houston Astros.

Young retired the first 23 batters he faced, only to have his shot at history end on slow grounder to the third base side by Houston second baseman Ramon Urìas.

Right-hander Ryan Pressly (five saves, seven holds, 4.35 ERA) was released by the Chicago Cubs on August 1 and is available to sign. The 36-year-old was with the Astros from 2018-2024 and has a 3.33 career ERA with 117 saves out of 161 opportunities.

Houston Astros closer Josh Hader was diagnosed with a left shoulder capsule strain and will not throw for approximately three weeks, the team said Friday.

Hader’s IL placement was the first injury of his big league career — and it’s a significant one.
