Wei-Yin Chen pitched a terrific ballgame in a no-decision against the Tigers, allowing just one run on two hits over his six innings.
After a leadoff walk to Austin Jackson in the first inning, Prince Fielder delivered a two-out RBI double providing the Tigers only run of the game. Chen then settled in and retired 15 straight hitters until a walk to Ramon Santiago in the sixth inning. He left with a 4-1 lead that Jim Johnson would inevitably surrender in the ninth inning. Chen has been the Orioles best starting pitcher as of late, posting an 7-5 record, 3.80 ERA and 83/35 K/BB ratio through 109 innings in his rookie season. He'll look to carry over the momentum from this strong outing when he faces the Twins in Minnesota on Thursday.
