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.
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.
