## Caption

Brandon Young was absolutely dealing today, tossing 7.0 IP, 5 H, 1 ER, 7 K as the Orioles took down the Astros 5-2. He attacked the strike zone all game and kept Houston’s offense quiet.

The highlight, though, came on defense. Young made an unbelievable play with his foot that looked straight out of a soccer match, leaving fans instantly comparing him to Lionel Messi.

Now we know why Messi didn’t score today. He was too busy making highlight-reel plays and striking out hitters as Brandon Young. 😭
