Tosses seven frames in no-decision
Young did not factor into Friday's decision against the Royals, allowing three runs on eight hits and one walk while striking out five across seven innings.
Analysis
Young was efficient in his outing, tossing just 85 pitches (59 strikes) while generating 10 whiffs. His pitch count was low enough for him to be brought back for the eighth inning, but he was pulled after giving up a game-tying solo homer to Isaac Collins. Despite the late blemish, Young did enough to secure his seventh quality start of the season. He'll enter the All-Star break sporting a 7-2 record (15 starts) with a 3.42 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 67:31 K:BB over 84.1 innings.

Settles in for win
Young (7-2) earned the win against the Reds on Saturday, allowing four runs on eight hits and three walks with five strikeouts over five innings.
Analysis
Young allowed four runs through the first two innings but finished with three scoreless frames and benefited from an eight-run outburst from the Orioles. While he was able to log at least five frames for the eighth straight outing, Saturday marked just the second time in 14 contests this season the 27-year-old yielded more than three earned runs. He owns a 3.38 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 62:30 K:BB across 77.1 innings overall and will take on the Royals at home in his final start before the All-Star break.
