Brandon Young pitched five shutout innings in a spot start and Gunnar Henderson homered, boosting the visiting Baltimore Orioles to a 2-1 victory against the Chicago White Sox on Monday.

Baltimore stopped a three-game losing streak while handing the White Sox their first home loss of the season.

Chicago was coming off a three-game weekend series sweep of the defending American League champion Toronto Blue Jays but struggled to mount an attack on Monday. Four Orioles pitchers combined on a four-hitter.

Baltimore closer Ryan Helsley walked the first two batters in the bottom of the ninth but regrouped to pick up his third save. Lenyn Sosa had an RBI groundout and Andrew Benintendi followed with an infield single before Helsley fanned Edgar Quero to end the game.

Ryan Mountcastle had two of Baltimore's seven hits.

Young (1-0) outdueled White Sox counterpart Erick Fedde (0-2), scattering two hits and two walks while striking out two.

Baltimore recalled Young from Triple-A Norfolk before the game after placing Dietrich Enns on the 15-day injured list with a left foot infection.

While the White Sox produced baserunners in four of their five innings against Young, they couldn't break through. Chase Meidroth had a walk and single against the Orioles right-hander as part of a 2-for-3 day.

Fedde permitted two runs and five hits in six innings with one walk and four strikeouts. He took over after Chicago opener Grant Taylor worked around a Taylor Ward leadoff double in the first.

Adley Rutschman drew a walk from Fedde with two outs in the fourth, stopping the righty's streak of eight straight retired to begin his outing. Tyler O'Neill drove in the first run of the game one batter later, as his fly ball landed inside the left field line for an RBI single. Chicago left fielder Austin Hays injured his hamstring in pursuit and left the game.

Henderson stretched the advantage to 2-0 with a solo blast leading off the sixth, his third home run of the season.

Meidroth started the bottom of the sixth with a single and moved to third with two outs before Tyler Wells got Colson Montgomery on a popout to third.
