Wells didn't factor into the decision in Tuesday's 7-3 win over the Royals, giving up two runs on five hits and two walks over four innings. He struck out two.
The O's scored six runs through the first three innings, but Wells wasn't efficient enough to capitalize, getting the hook after 80 pitches (48 strikes). The southpaw has a 7.15 ERA, 1.90 WHIP and 17:11 K:BB through his first 22.2 big-league innings, and with Baltimore having more promising rotation options to sort through in September, Wells isn't likely to hold down a regular starting spot.
