Royals ride Chen's two-hit shutout over Rays
KANSAS CITY -- There was no reason for Bruce Chen to look over his shoulder
into the Royals' bullpen. There was no one there. Not all night.
No relief was needed as Chen pitched a two-hitter for the Royals to beat the
playoff-bound Tampa Bay Rays, 7-0, on Friday night at Kauffman Stadium. It
was the first shutout of Chen's 13-year career.
And it was culmination of a storybook season for the left-hander. Chen began
the season in the Minors, was called up to pitch in the Kansas City bullpen,
then got a chance to start when Gil Meche was hurting. Just two years removed
from Tommy John surgery, Chen -- not Zack Greinke -- was leading the Royals
with a 12-7 record.
...
For inspiration and guidance, Chen and catcher Pena didn't study a videotape
of Braden's perfect game, but viewed a seven-inning gem against the Rays by
Baltimore left-hander Brian Matusz. They adapted that plan to Chen's style of
pitching, and it worked.
"It was all him -- and a little bit Matusz," Pena said.
