Chen stays brilliant at home with 8-inning gem

Marlins left-handed starter Wei-Yin Chen is all smiles when his spot in the rotation comes up at Marlins Park. Such was the case on Saturday, when Chen handcuffed Toronto on three hits and one run over a career-high-tying eight innings of the Marlins’ victory. Chen lowered his ERA to 1.77 (71 IP/14 ER) over 12 home starts, as opposed to his 9.35 ERA in 10 road starts. He retired 14 Blue Jays in a row after giving up a leadoff double in the fourth before yielding a two-out single in the eighth. He struck out seven and did not walk a batter.
