PITCHING well as a rookie in Major League Baseball is difficult enough. Dominating the New York Yankees is something else entirely.
After seven games with the Baltimore Orioles, Chen Wei-yin appears comfortable doing both. Chen pitched seven innings of four-hit ball to help the Orioles beat CC Sabathia and the Yankees 5-2 late on Tuesday.
Baltimore earned a split of the two-game series and improved to 1-4 at home against New York. Chen (4-0) allowed two runs, struck out four and walked two in a masterful performance. The 26-year-old from Chinese Taipei took a shutout into the seventh inning against the Yankees' formidable lineup, and made it look easy.
"He located really well," Orioles manager Buck Showalter said. "Command of the fastball was really key tonight. Once he showed them that he could do that on both sides of the plate, the whole world opened up for him."
Chen's first outing against the Yankees came on April 10, when he allowed a homer to the first batter he faced and ended up giving up two runs and seven hits in 5 2-3 innings. "The first time, the debut I was so nervous," Chen said. "This time, I was just like I've had this experience already so everything was fine to me."
