The Baltimore Orioles have some serious young talent on the roster. A perfect managerial hire would be a young guy in his own right.

Baltimore Orioles right-hander Brandon Young lost his bid for a perfect game against the Houston Astros on Friday night with two out in the eighth inning on an infield hit by Ramon Urias.

When Baltimore Orioles rookie Brandon Young took the mound Friday night for the 11th time in his big league career, he was still waiting for his first MLB win. Instead, he flirted with baseball immortality.

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.

On Friday, Orioles rookie right-hander Brandon Young came within four outs of a perfect game. On Saturday, Baltimore called up outfielder Dylan Beavers (the club’s No. 3 prospect per MLB Pipeline), who then made his big league debut.

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.
