| Breaking News |  | Sunday, July 6th, 2031: Minnesota Comes up Empty Against Wells
On the hill Michael Wells stood out and was the master of the moment as he blanked Minnesota 6-0.
At bat the Twins floundered, fizzled and failed to score.
"His fastball moves and he mixes in the slider," the Minnesota manager said. "He kept us off balance."
The St. Louis pitcher hurled a 5-hit shutout in an exceptional effort. He gave up no walks and numbered 4 strikeouts.
"I felt good," Wells said. "That's probably the best fastball I've had all season. I was able to locate it pretty well. They were super-aggressive, which helped me."
Checking out his stats for the year, Wells has racked up 5 wins and 6 losses in 17 starts, 5.21 ERA and struck out 24 batters in 93.1 innings.
