Baltimore Orioles, Wei-Yin Chen outlast Tampa

It seems that all season the Baltimore Orioles and Wei-Yin Chen have been forced out of their game and thus been made to play on the terms of others.

Chen’s line: 7 IP, 6 H, 1 R, 0 BB, 7 K. This may or may not have been Chen’s best start of the season. But it’s definitely up…
