Starting pitcher Wei-Yin Chen was great tonight as the Orioles easily beat the Phillies in game one of a four-game, two-city series.
The Orioles beat the Phillies tonight in a game that took place entirely in two hours, nine minutes! I was at a baseball game between the Orioles and Yankees that was past that mark in the sixth inning. This was better, especially since the Orioles beat the team they were supposed to beat.
So the Phillies are a bad team this year. Like, really bad. Most of you knew that, and many of you probably thought that it would give the Orioles the old reverse lock to lose.
