Wells allowed five runs on six hits and a walk over five innings in Sunday's loss to Boston. He struck out three and did not factor in the decision.
The Red Sox jumped on Wells right out of the gate, scoring three runs in the first inning and adding another in the second. He then coughed up a solo homer to J.D. Martinez in the third frame. It was his second straight start giving up five runs, inflating his ERA to 7.96 through 31.2 innings this season. Wells is projected to face the Rangers at home next week.
