Orioles left-hander Chris Lee not as efficient, but still effective in his first spring start

One day after pitching eight shutout innings and striking out nine, Orioles left-hander Wei-Yin Chen was optioned to High-A Frederick before Tuesday's game against the Phillies.

The Orioles outfielders could¿ve been picking daisies like they were back in Little League for most of Monday and it wouldn¿t have mattered. There wasn¿t much action past the infield with left-hander Wei-Yin Chen on the hill.

One run was enough to stand on Monday against a Phillies team that has scored the fewest runs in baseball, as Wei-Yin Chen threw eight scoreless innings in a 4-0 win in front of an announced 23,730 at Camden Yards.

The Orioles open their two-game interleague series against the Philadelphia Phillies tonight at Camden Yards.
