Wei-Yin Chen 2 runs in 6 innings but got No-decision

Wei-Yin Chen, speaking through his interpreter, said he wasn’t thinking about his chances of winning today’s game despite leaving after six innings with a 3-2 lead.

“In the game, I don’t think that much,” he said. “I just want to keep pitching and help the team to win. “I feel like, compared with the last outing, I feel like I improved today. But I still have a lot of room to improve.” Asked what he did differently today, Chen replied, “I just keep with my delivery and nothing really changed. (But) I feel my timing is better this time.”

The game time temperature was 87 degrees, the type of heat that made Koji Uehara wilt in some games.  “That bothered me a little bit,” Chen said, “but this is a thing I need to deal with because I sweat a lot.”
