Brandon Young has crisp spot start for Orioles, who beat White Sox 2-1 to snap
3-game skid
CHICAGO (AP) --- Spot starter Brandon Young pitched five scoreless innings,
Gunnar Henderson homered and the Baltimore Orioles beat the Chicago White Sox
2-1 on Monday night to stop a three-game skid.
Ryan Helsley worked out of a jam in the ninth for his third save. He walked the
first two batters, and pinch-hitter Lenyn Sota's one-out grounder made it 2-1.
After an infield single by Andrew Benintendi, Helsley struck out Edgar Quero on
a 99 mph fastball to end it.
Tyler O'Neill hit a flyball that fell for an RBI single in the fourth inning
when White Sox left fielder Austin Hays pulled up with a right hamstring
injury, which forced him to leave the game. Henderson homered in the sixth off
Erick Fedde (0-2), who worked six innings after opener Grant Taylor pitched the
first.
Chicago lost at home for the first time this season as its three-game winning
streak was snapped.
Young (1-0) was recalled from Triple-A Norfolk earlier Monday to fill the
injured Zach Eflin's spot in the rotation after Baltimore's first option to
make the start, Cade Povich, pitched 5 2/3 innings in long relief Sunday at
Pittsburgh. The 27-year-old right-hander, who had a 6.24 ERA in 12 starts for
Baltimore last year, allowed two hits, walked two and struck out two on 66
pitches.
Tyler Wells followed with two innings of relief and Rico Garcia worked the
eighth.
Up next
Tuesday's middle game of the series was moved up to an afternoon start because
of cold temperatures in the forecast. Trevor Rogers (2-0, 1.38 ERA) starts for
Baltimore against Shane Smith (0-2, 19.29).
