Brandon Young allows one run in no-decision

Young generated 15 whiffs and had a fine 37 percent CSW in racking up those strikeouts. His previous high in 38 big-league starts was eight against the Nationals on June 27. Young’s ERA stands at 3.62 through 151 2/3 innings. He’ll take on the Yankees next weekend.

Young gave up five hits, walked five and struck out six. He bounced back after he allowed six runs in a loss to the Guardians in his last start. Young has allowed three runs or less in four of his last five starts. He has a 3.65 ERA. Young is lined up to face the Brewers at home this weekend.

Young hadn’t allowed more than four earned runs in a start this year before the off night. He actually surrendered only four hard-hit balls to the Guardians, but one of those was a three-run homer from Travis Bazzana in a tough second inning that started with a groundball triple that eluded Pete Alonso and then saw Patrick Bailey hit an 87-mph liner that probably would have been caught in a typical defensive alignment go for an RBI single over the drawn-in infield. Young dropped to 9-4 with a 3.71 ERA. He’ll likely face the Mets on Monday.

This would have been a terrific outing from Young if not for his former batterymate Adley Rutschman taking him deep twice. Young struck out seven and allowed just two hits aside from the homers. He’ll be a decent play against the Guardians next week.

Young scattered five hits allowed, and he walked just one while striking out four. The 28-year-old has been one of the true bright spots for Baltimore in 2026, and even though the Baltimore bullpen prevented him from picking up a win — the Orioles did get the victory in extras — he did lower his ERA to 3.38 over his 130 1/3 frames of work. He will look to keep up the good run next week, but it’s worth noting that next start comes in Colorado against the Rockies.

Young stranded two runners in the first inning, then served up a solo homer to Liam Hicks in the second. He settled in to keep the Rays off the board until the sixth, when a walk and two hits scored one run and left two runners on as Young departed with two outs at 84 pitches. He struck out three. The 28-year-old right-hander ends the day with a 3.50 ERA, 1.36 WHIP, and a 99/45 K/BB ratio across 123 1/3 innings. He’ll take on the Athletics in Sacramento on Friday.

Young was mostly in control early on, limiting Tampa Bay to just a solo homer from Yandy Díaz through three innings before things unraveled in the ensuing frame. He surrendered five hits in the frame, including homers to Ryan Vilade and Jorge Mateo, but managed to escape without any additional damage. He finished with three strikeouts and only issued one walk. He was fortunate to receive a no-decision after Baltimore’s offense rallied to take him off the hook. He’s in line for a rematch against the Rays at Camden Yards this weekend.

It’s the ninth win of the season for Young, who has been one of the few bright spots for the Orioles in 2026. The 27-year-old did allow six hits and three walks, but he was able to work around that traffic while lowering his ERA to a healthy 3.33 on the season. Young isn’t an ace, but it’s tough — and foolish — to complain about his production in 2026. He’ll face the Rays on Sunday in Tampa Bay if there’s no change to the rotation order.

Young has a 3.21 ERA over his last 15 starts, but this makes back-to-back duds against the Phillies and Angels. It was a bit unfortunate for him that the sequence worked out to give Neto a three-run homer, but he’s more of a living-on-the-edge 12-team starter than a true must-roster player. A matchup against the Twins next week remains tasty despite the recent downturn.

Young got off to a rough start in this one, allowing Trea Turner to reach off with an infield single, which he followed with a walk to Kyle Schwarber. A single by Bryce Harper would bring in Turner to put the Phillies up 1-0, and an RBI ground out by Brandon Marsh extended that lead to 2-0 before Young was able to get out of the inning. Young made it through the second inning without any issues, but after allowing solo homers to Turner in the fourth inning and J.T. Realmuto in the sixth inning, he found himself on the wrong side of a 4-2 ball game. This was Young’s worst start since July 4th, when he allowed four earned runs over five innings to the Reds, but he has been relatively strong as of late. He’ll look to bounce back in his next start, which is scheduled for Thursday at home against the Angels.
