The Orioles played a sloppy, disappointing game tonight. Starting pitcher Tyler Wells completely fell apart. The batters failed to do anything against a pitcher who came into the game with a 6.89 ERA. The defense was sloppy. The one bright spot was, of all people, Cole Irvin. In the end, it marked the team’s second loss in a row.
Wells was pitching tonight on extra rest, having last started on July 8th. He’s been good in his most recent starts though his peripheral stats seem to show that he’s been getting better results than he should be. Was tonight some regression to the mean?
