Orioles Wells Silences Detroit
Today was David Wells's turn in the rotation for the Baltimore Orioles and he made the most of it, shutting out the Detroit Tigers on 6 hits.

The 34-year-old left-hander led the Orioles to an easy 7-0 victory, allowing no walks and tallying 7 strikeouts.

"I hope we miss him next time," Detroit manager Julio Izquierdo said. "Wells certainly pitched a strong game against us today. He was in a groove, throwing everything for strikes. Throwing hard. Changing speeds."

In 11 starts this season Wells has fashioned a 3-7 record and a 3.27 ERA.
