Brandon Young pushed Baltimore’s rotation toward history, carrying a no-hitter into the eighth before Ramón Urías broke it up with a soft infield hit that became a single plus throwing error on a rushed throw to first. Baltimore still rolled to a 7-0 win as Urías—fresh from a deadline swap to Houston—helped the Astros plug an infield hole in the wake of multiple trades. The moment underscored how deadline moves ripple into on-field drama and fantasy upside.

Young, undrafted from Louisiana–Lafayette, has already shown rare talent with an immaculate inning this season and eight scoreless frames in this start. If he’d finished the no-no, he’d have joined a tiny club of rookies with perfect games, a feat never achieved by an Orioles pitcher. The narrative blends rookie promise with the real-market churn of the deadline, spotlighting how young arms must seize opportunities amid roster churn and in-game adversity.
