Wells’ Best Not Good Enough
David Wells pitched about as well as he possibly could on Tuesday night (recap | box score). He hit his spots, mixed his pitches, and threw strikes 72% of the time. You can’t ask for anything more from the guy. A weak bloop double in the sixth off the bat of Ryan Freel got the [...]
