Brandon Young has crisp spot start for Orioles, who beat White Sox 2-1
to snap 3-game skid
[April 07, 2026]
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).
