Brandon

Young

Young allowed a leadoff double to George Springer to start the game. Springer would eventually come home on a sacrifice fly by Vladimir Guerrero Jr. to tie the game at 1-1. In the second inning, Young would narrowly escape a jam with runners on the corners and two outs, and went on to pitch two more scoreless frames before falling victim to a two-run homer by Brandon Valenzuela, which put the Jays up 3-1. Overall, it was a solid outing for Young, who didn’t allow a free baserunner all night and left the game with a chance to pick up the win after the Orioles drove home five runs in the sixth inning. Young continues to be one of the more reliable arms in the Orioles’ rotation. He’s allowed three earned runs or fewer in eight of his nine starts and has pitched into the seventh inning in his last three outings. His next start is scheduled for Wednesday at home against the Mariners.

Young held the Blue Jays scoreless through three innings, then gave up two runs on three hits in the fourth. That would be the only damage against Young as he went on to pitch into the seventh, leaving with two outs in the inning at 86 pitches. He struck out a season-high seven batters on 13 whiffs. The 27-year-old right-hander will take a 3.35 ERA, 1.37 WHIP, and a 33/17 K/BB ratio into a rematch against the Blue Jays in Toronto on Friday.

Young struck out four batters on the afternoon while issuing a pair of walks. The damage done against him came in the fourth inning as the Tigers scratched out a pair of runs after Pete Alonso botched a potential double play ground ball. He generated eight whiffs on 105 pitches in the contest, posting a CSW of 26 percent. He’ll try to keep the good times rolling as he brings a 3.47 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and a 26/16 K/BB ratio (36 1/3 innings) into Friday’s tilt against the Blue Jays.

The clubs ultimately decided there wasn’t enough of a window in the forecast at Camden Yards that it made sense to try to start this contest. It’ll be made up as a split doubleheader on Sunday instead. Fantasy managers should anticipate Saturday’s original starters — Framber Valdez and Brandon Young — taking the ball at some point during the twin bill.

Young also issued three free passes on the day while striking out three. He served up a solo homer to Jacob Young in the second inning, then the Nationals scratched out another run while chasing him in the fourth inning. The 27-year-old righty generated 11 whiffs on 70 pitches in the game — six of those on his heater — while posting a CSW of 27 percent. He’ll carry a 4.25 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and a 22/14 K/BB ratio (29 2/3 innings) into Saturday’s showdown against the Tigers.

Young was simply outdueled by his Yankees counterpart Ryan Weathers as a third-inning homer by Ben Rice accounted for all the damage against him in this one. He struck out five and issued three walks. Fortunately, Baltimore’s offense rallied late to take him off the hook. The 27-year-old has held his own over the last few weeks, allowing three earned runs or fewer in three of four starts since joining Baltimore’s rotation back on April 24. He’ll face the Nationals to finish off a two-start week on Sunday.

Young has a 4.35 ERA in four starts for the Orioles this season. It’s possible he’ll be sent down after the game Monday, as the Orioles are expected to activate Trevor Rogers during the series versus the Yankees.

Young was staked to an early three-run lead but wound up giving it all back in the first inning. He settled in nicely afterwards, keeping Miami off the scoreboard into the late innings. He finished with five strikeouts and walked three batters. It was a much-needed rebound performance after getting shelled for 10 runs his last time out against the Astros. He’ll bring a respectable 4.35 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 14/8 K/BB ratio across 20 2/3 innings into a home outing against the Yankees on Tuesday.

Young also issued a pair of walks in the forgettable performance while striking out two. The Astros jumped on him for five runs in the opening inning including a three-run blast by Cam Smith. They added another on a solo blast from Yordan Alvarez in the second and then tacked on four more in the fourth inning. Young got seven whiffs on 82 pitches on the night, posting a miserable CSW of only 18 percent. He’ll try to put this one behind him and get back on track when he brings a 6.14 ERA and 1.64 WHIP into Wednesday’s showdown against the Marlins in Miami.

Yennier Cano stranded a runner left on second base in the sixth inning, but Young pitched effectively backwards with his splitter and slider as primary pitches. The 10 hard-hit balls also point to this being an outing that was more lucky than good, but it’s good to be lucky. If he remains in the rotation, Young looks likely to draw the Astros next week.
