Overview

  • Wells worked five innings of two-run ball with four strikeouts and no walks on 79 pitches, finishing by retiring Luis Arraez after a lengthy at-bat.
  • Baltimore’s offense backed him as Emmanuel Rivera drove in four with two singles and Jeremiah Jackson homered and later added an RBI groundout.
  • With his wife, Melissa, and 5-month-old daughter, Ava, in attendance, Wells framed the night as a health-focused milestone after a long rehab.
  • The Orioles reinstated Wells from the 60-day injured list following his June 2024 UCL repair; he logged a 2.49 ERA with 24 strikeouts in 25 1/3 rehab innings.
  • Shawn Dubin, Kade Strowd, Rico Garcia, and Albert Suárez combined for four scoreless innings, and Wells is slated to remain in the rotation for the rest of the season.
