Houston Astros’ Ramon Urias hit an infield single to end Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Brandon Young’s perfect game bid in the eighth inning.
Baltimore Orioles rookie pitcher Brandon Young lost his perfect-game bid in brutal fashion during the team’s 7-0 win over the Houston Astros on Friday.
Young, 26, was four outs away from etching himself into the history books when Astros second baseman Ramon Urias was up.
Young threw a changeup on the outside part of the plate in a 2-2 count. Urias reached out and tapped a groundball softly in between the pitcher’s mound and third base.
Young, who had to hurry because of Urias’ speed, picked the ball up with his bare hand, turned and fired an errant throw to first base, allowing Urias to reach.
