Orioles win series behind Wei-Yin Chen and bullpen
by Jack Keenan | Mon, Jul 27th 12:38pm EDT
The Orioles defeated the Rays Sunday afternoon 5-2 behind a solid start by Wei-Yin Chen and excellent relief. Chen went five and one third innings giving up two runs, six hits, and one walk while striking out three. Chen earned his first win since July 1st, giving him a record of 5-6. Chen in ninth in the American League with a 2.88 ERA.
Fantasy Impact:
Chen has been holding batters to a .244 average against him and has a 1.13 WHIP on the year. Chen is not a high upside option (only 96 strikeouts in 123 innings) but rarely suffers blowups and is as safe of an option as anyone. Chen's value will greatly increase if he can string a couple more consecutive wins.
