Earns first MLB win Young (1-6) picked up the win Friday against the Astros, allowing one hit while striking out six over eight scoreless innings.

Impact The rookie right-hander was tossing a perfect game through 7.2 innings before Ramon Urias broke it up with an infield single in the eighth that could easily have been ruled an error by the official scorer, but Young quickly regrouped to finish the inning and secure his first career MLB win. The outing was especially encouraging coming on the heels of one of his worst performances of the year, when he lasted only three innings and surrendered six runs. Friday's gem not only marked a personal milestone but also lowered Young's ERA by more than a full point, as he now owns a 5.68 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 40:26 K:BB across 52.1 innings this season.

Jumped early in loss Young (0-6) took the loss against the Athletics on Saturday, allowing six runs on six hits and two walks with two strikeouts over three innings.

Impact Five of the six runs Young surrendered came via the long ball, and he was pulled after just 74 pitches in his shortest effort of the season. Coming off back-to-back starts in which he allowed only two earned runs combined, the 26-year-old has still failed to complete five innings in eight of 10 outings this year. He'll take a 6.70 ERA, 1.74 WHIP and 40:20 K:BB across 44.1 innings into a road matchup with Houston next week.

Sticking around in rotation Young is slated to start Saturday's game against the Athletics at Camden Yards, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Impact With Zach Eflin (back) recently landing on the injured list and Kyle Bradish (elbow) and Tyler Wells (elbow) in the midst of rehab assignments, Young should continue to make regular turns through the rotation until the Baltimore pitching staff regains some health. For the season, Young owns a 5.88 ERA and 1.67 WHIP in 41.1 innings at the big-league level, but he's fared better over his last three starts with Baltimore, yielding a 3.00 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 13:7 K:BB in 15 frames.

Lasts 4.2 frames in no-decision Young conceded two unearned runs on five hits and two walks over 4.2 innings while not factoring into the decision in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Cubs. He struck out four.

Impact The Baltimore rookie right-hander fared well in this short, 80-pitch outing. Young allowed two unearned runs to score in the first but then settled in to hold the Chicago lineup, as he allowed just one extra-base hit -- an Ian Happ double that drove home one of those unearned runs. After pitching to a 7.52 ERA in 26.1 innings over his first six starts, the 26-year-old has performed better over his latest three outings, producing a 3.00 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 13:7 K:BB across 15 frames. Even with Cade Povich (hip) being slated to rejoin the Orioles rotation Monday, Young should continue to make starts while Zach Eflin (back) is sidelined. Young currently lines up to make his next appearance against the Athletics at home next weekend.

Getting start Sunday Young is slated to start Sunday's game against the Cubs at Wrigley Field.

Impact As expected, Young will be called upon to fill one of the openings in the rotation that was created Thursday after Zach Eflin (back) was placed on the injured list and Charlie Morton was traded to the Tigers. Young has previously made eight starts this season for Baltimore, going 0-5 with a 6.63 ERA, 1.69 WHIP and 34:16 K:BB in 36.2 innings. The rookie right-hander came through with his first career quality start his last time out in the second game of a doubleheader Tuesday against the Blue Jays, striking out six over six frames while allowing two earned runs on six hits and two walks.
