Chen shines in Orioles' 5-2 win over Yankees

Chen shines as Orioles top Yankees

In a 5-2 win against the New York Yankees on Tuesday that kept the Orioles (23-14) in a first-place tie with the Tampa Bay Rays, rookie left-hander Wei-Yin Chen turned in perhaps his best outing in the majors. He lasted seven innings, yielding four hits, two walks and two runs while striking out four. His ERA is 2.45 in seven starts. Chen, who allowed four runs (two earned) against the Yankees in his major league debut April 10 in a no-decision, was much crisper Tuesday night.

No. 2: Colts QB Johnny Unitas unsurpassed and unforgettable

Last week, on what would have been his father's 79th birthday, Chad Unitas visited his grave at Dulaney Valley Memorial Gardens. There, on the edge of a pond filled with ducks and ringed by weeping willows, he knelt by the marble marker and spoke with the one many call football's greatest QB. "I go there a couple of times a month, to ask my dad's advice about this and that," Unitas said. "He's been gone 10 years, but I can still hear his voice."
