Wells (2-1) was tagged with the loss in relief Sunday against the White Sox after allowing three runs (two earned) on one hit and a walk across two innings. He struck out four.
Wells entered the game with one out to go in the eighth and fired a scoreless ninth while fanning three of the first four batters he faced, but the wheels came off in the 10th inning. The right-hander walked Yoan Moncada and retired two batters in a row before allowing Adam Engel to blast a three-run shot that would eventually decide the game for Chicago. Wells has now given up five runs over his last two outings, and his ERA has risen to 4.10 as a result. He had recorded five straight scoreless appearances prior to his last two outings.
