Wei-Yin Chen pitched well for the Orioles, lasting eight innings for the third time in five starts, but he gave up three runs in the fourth inning thanks to a two-out RBI single from Dan Uggla and Tyler Moore's two-run double. The Nationals wouldn't need any more offensive production as the Orioles dropped their 10th game in the last 13, scoring just 39 runs over that span to drop them back down to .500 for the first time since June 14.
