Description: Taiwanese rookie Wei-Yin Chen is 4-0 with a 2.45 ERA in the first seven starts of his major league career. | Insight: Chen tossed seven innings of two-run ball against the Yankees on Tuesday to improve to 4-0.

Baltimore is fourth in the American League in runs scored, so give Chen a look. | | |
