Wei-Yin Chen Pitches 6 Strong Innings for the Win

BALTIMORE — On the night the Baltimore Orioles honored Earl Weaver, they did a lot of things the late former manager might have liked.

Manny Machado hit a three-run home run, and starter Wei-Yin Chen gave Baltimore six good innings that helped seal a 6-1 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers and clinched a sweep of Saturday’s doubleheader in front of a sell-out crowd of 45,248 at Camden Yards.

Machado went 3 for 4 with a home run, double and four RBI, tying a career high. The The runs gave Chen some support he hadn’t gotten recently. Chen (1-2) had received no runs from Baltimore in his last two starts and also had not picked up a victory in his last 10 starts dating back to Aug. 19.

Chen went six innings Saturday, giving up one earned run on three hits. But he wasn’t thrilled with his effort.

“I can tell you the truth. I don’t think (about it) that much. I can tell my true feelings,” Chen said. “I really thank all my teammates, all the guys behind (who) helped me … get a win tonight. Our belief tonight is to just go out and get a win tonight.”
