ATLANTA, June 17 (UPI) -- Wei-Yin Chen and four relievers combined on a seven-hit shutout Sunday and the Baltimore Orioles edged Atlanta 2-0 in an interleague contest.

Chen (7-2) logged his third win in three starts, blanking the Braves on six hits over seven frames, striking out two while issuing one walk.

Darren O'Day, Troy Patton and Pedro Strop combined to hurl a scoreless eighth and Jim Johnson collected his 20th save to complete the whitewash, which handed the O's the rubber match of a three-game set at Turner Field.

Mark Reynolds drove in a run with a sacrifice fly and the Orioles scored another run on a sixth-inning balk by Braves starter Randall Delgado (4-7).

The right-hander absorbed the hard-luck loss after holding the O's to two runs on three hits through eight innings, walking one and fanning six.

The Braves lost for the sixth time in seven games.
