The outing provided for the Baltimore Orioles by Wei-Yin Chen last night should be model for how starts should go in the majors. Or at least one of the models. Some of the snarkier people out there might suggest that the model should be a no-hitter or perfect game; but work with me. Chen’s line: 7.2 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 2 BB, 5 K.
Chen was dealing from the beginning, and he even got a little help from his
friends. Not an immense amount of help, mind you, but a little. Adam Jones gave the Orioles the lead before Chen even took the field with a solo home run in the first inning.
