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.

Brandon Young of the @Orioles is the fifth rookie pitcher in the last 50 years to have perfect-game bid go at least 7.2 innings, joining Triston McKenzie in 2021, Jorge Lopez in 2018, Travis Wood in 2010 and Orel Hershiser in 1984.

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