<p>Baltimore Orioles rookie Brandon Young was closing in on a perfect game, a feat that had the entire stadium on the edge of their seats. However, it was not to be as he lost it in a cruel fashion on Friday, Aug. 15, resulting in the Houston Astros' only hit in Baltimore's 7-0 victory at Daikin Park.</p>

<p>In what was nearly eight flawless innings during his 11th career start, Young retired 23 Houston batters before allowing a two-out infield single in the eighth inning to Ramón Urías, a former Oriole who had been traded to the Astros. Urías hit a ground ball in Young's vicinity, and although Young quickly fielded the ball, he threw wide of first base.</p>

<p>The error allowed Urías to advance to second base, ending what could have been a perfect game. The play was ruled a hit, ending Young's no-hitter.</p>

<p>"I thought I could make the play," Young said, according to MLB.com. "I got there in time. I think I had a little more time to maybe take a step and make a better throw. I obviously rushed it, yanked it. It sucks. Definitely want it back."</p>

<p>Young got the final out of the inning and Baltimore's Yaramil Hiraldo pitched the ninth as Young picked up the first victory of his career in a familiar spot. Young grew up in Texas and had gone to the Houston stadium as a child.</p>
