Despite Young being a winner in the most minimalistic sense, he will have to continue winning in order to quiet those who say that he belongs in the bullpen.
That being said, Young did not have a terrible showing in his only win this season.
Young only surrendered four hits in six innings pitched.
Although Young did allow a home run off of Manny Machado, a solo shot late in the evening with a comfortable lead is fairly reasonable by Young’s current standards.
