Wells allowed three runs on six hits and two walks while striking out three in four innings during Friday's win over the Angels. He didn't factor into the decision.
EDGE Analysis
Wells gave up just three runs in 22 innings over his last four starts, but he was less effective during Friday's matchup. He gave up a three-run homer in the top of the third inning and was in line for the loss when he exited the game, but he was able to settle for a no-decision since the Orioles mounted a late comeback. Friday's start snapped a streak of five consecutive wins for Wells, but he's had relatively sustained success over the last month and a half. The righty tentatively lines up to make his next start on the road against Tampa Bay next Friday.

Wells (7-4) gave up one earned run on three hits and a walk while striking out seven over six innings to earn the win in a 3-1 victory over the Twins on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Wells had his best start of the season, tallying a career-high seven strikeouts and 90 pitches. The 27-year-old right-hander has been dealing as of late, having only given up three runs over his past four starts. Wells' season-long 3.09 ERA and 1.00 WHIP are pleasant surprises for his first year pitching out of a starter's role. His 5.6 K/9 rate coming into the game is well below league-average but his fastball spin ranks in the 94th percentile according to Baseball Savant, which bodes well for his ability to get batted ball outs. Look for Wells to start on Friday against the Angels.

Wells (6-4) earned the win over Seattle on Monday, allowing one run on one hit and no walks while striking out three batters over five innings.
EDGE Analysis
Wells had a perfect game going in the fifth inning before Cal Raleigh broke it up with a solo home run with two outs in that frame. The right-handed hurler got one more out, then called it a night after 63 pitches. That held true to the report that Wells would be on a limited pitch count for the contest after he tossed a season-high 94 pitches his last time out. In contrast to that previous appearance, Wells demonstrated excellent control Monday, throwing 41 of 63 pitches for strikes and avoiding issuing any walks for the first time in six starts. He's won each of his past five decisions, registering a 1.97 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 18:10 K:BB over 32 innings covering six starts during that span.

Wells will "be held back a bit" in Monday's start against Seattle, Zachary Silver of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wells threw a season-high 94 pitchers in his prior outing, which came Wednesday against the Nationals. He particularly struggled with his control as he walked four batters across only five innings. As a result, he may be on a pitch count Monday, though no specific plans were revealed. Wells has worked at least five innings in each of his last three starts, though he began the season by completing fewer than five frames in three of his seven appearances.

Wells (5-4) allowed three hits and four walks while striking out four across five scoreless innings to earn the win Wednesday against the Nationals.
EDGE Analysis
Wells walked two to load the bases in the third inning but he struck out Luis Garcia to escape the jam. Wells was solid otherwise, though he needed 95 pitches to record 15 outs. After struggling to work deep into games to begin the campaign, Wells has worked at least five frames in five of his last six starts. He has a 3.34 ERA on the season, though that's paired with a modest 40:16 K:BB across 64.2 innings.

Wells (4-4) allowed one earned run on five hits and one walk while striking out three across six innings to earn the win Thursday against Toronto.
EDGE Analysis
Wells allowed a solo home run to Teoscar Hernandez but otherwise held the Blue Jays in check. As has been the case, he was reliant upon inducing soft contact and boasts a strikeout rate of just 15.1 percent on the campaign. Despite that, Wells has turned in three quality starts in his last four outings and has a 3.62 ERA across 59.2 innings for the season.

Wells (3-4) allowed three runs on five hits and two walks while striking out four over six innings, earning the win Saturday over the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
Wells picked up his third quality start of the year in this contest, including his second in his last three outings, though it wasn't his sharpest performance. The Royals scored once in the first inning and twice in the fourth before the Orioles' offense picked up the pace to pull ahead. Wells threw 60 of 84 pitches for strikes in this contest as he continues to adapt to a starter's workload. He's posted a 3.86 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and a 33:11 K:BB through 53.2 innings in 12 starts. The right-hander is scheduled for a tough road start versus the Blue Jays next week.

Wells didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Guardians, giving up two runs on two hits and two walks over four innings. He struck out one.
EDGE Analysis
Both the hits Wells allowed left the yard, but that was the story of the game for both offenses as they combined for nine hits and five homers in total. The right-hander tossed 62 pitches (42 strikes) before giving way to Keegan Akin, but the duo aren't working in a strict tandem as Wells has worked at least five innings in five of his last eight starts. He'll carry a 3.78 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 29:9 K:BB through 47.2 innings into his next outing.

Wells (2-4) allowed just two hits and a walk with three strikeouts in six innings, earning the win Monday versus the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
The Red Sox offense couldn't do much of anything against Wells, who threw 64 of his 88 pitches for strikes. The Orioles have been cautious with the right-hander in his first season as a starter in the majors -- he's only completed six innings in two of his 10 starts. Efficiency is the key for the 27-year-old, who sports a 3.71 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 28:7 K:BB across 43.2 innings overall. Wells' next start is expected to be at home versus the Guardians this weekend.
