Young Shines over 7 Innings as the Baltimore Orioles Stretch Win Streak to 7 with a 5-2 Win
Young allowed one run and struck out seven as Baltimore extended its season-best winning streak to seven games.
On Sunday, the Baltimore Orioles extended their season-best winning streak to 7 games by defeating the Houston Astros 5-2. Starting pitcher Brandon Young allowed one run over 7 innings to secure his 8th win.
Reflecting Baltimore's ongoing success, the rotation's improved performance under Young continues momentum established by Trevor Rogers on Saturday. The Astros have lost 4 consecutive games and 7 of their last 9 outings.
Coby Mayo and Leody Taveras provided offensive spark, with Mayo launching his 13th homer and Taveras adding a 2-run single. Gunnar Henderson drove in the first run and stole home during a 4-stolen-base performance.
Despite the win, manager Craig Albernaz confirmed catcher Samuel Basallo left with shoulder discomfort after All-Star Adley Rutschman was sidelined with wrist issue. The team added third catcher Sam Huff to the roster.
The Orioles travel to Boston on Monday for a 3-game series against a Red Sox team that has won 13 consecutive games. The matchup tests Baltimore's winning streak against a dominant pitching staff.
