Wells (1-3) allowed five earned runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out three across four innings to take the loss Tuesday against the Yankees.
Wells was burned by the long ball, as he allowed home runs to Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton and Luke Voit. Those balls over the fence accounted for all five of the earned runs he surrendered. Wells has taken consecutive turns through the rotation and allowed seven earned runs across eight innings while striking out five and walking three. Despite those poor results, he may remain a starter after Matt Harvey (knee) was lost for the season.
