Yankees' Austin Wells: Logs first three-hit game of season
Wells went 3-for-6 with a run and an RBI in a 15-1 rout of the Royals on Tuesday.
All nine of New York's starters finished with multiple hits, so Wells' performance (which included three singles) got a bit lost in the shuffle. Still, it was a notable effort since it was the first time Wells collected multiple hits in a game since April 28, and it was also his first three-hit performance this season. The backstop has struggled at the plate throughout the campaign, slashing just .181/.295/.283 with four homers, 13 runs and seven RBI, but he has remained New York's primary catcher.

Wells went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Rangers.
Wells launched a solo homer off Jalen Beeks in the seventh inning for his third long ball of the season and second in his last three games.

Yankees' Austin Wells: Slugs long ball Saturday
Wells went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, an additional RBI and two walks against Houston in Saturday's 8-3 victory.
Wells swatted a solo homer in the seventh inning to break a 2-2 tie and added a run-scoring single in the ninth. This was arguably the catcher's best offensive game this season -- it was the first time he's reached base four times through 22 contests, and the long ball was his first since Opening Day. It's been a rough start to the campaign for Wells, as he's carrying a .635 OPS with two homers and four RBI across 80 plate appearances. However, Wells has propped up his contributions by posting a 15:14 BB:K, leading him to an acceptable .338 OBP.
