What happened: Wells allowed just one hit during his relief appearance and discussed the turnaround after his opening-game struggles. Wells was previously called upon out of the Tampa Bay bullpen earlier in the postseason.

Why it matters: Effective multi-inning relief stabilizes the bullpen rotation while the series between the Tampa Bay Rays and the Cleveland Guardians is tied 1-1. Dependable bridge innings reduce the workload on late-inning options across the postseason slate.

What to watch: The Tampa Bay Rays and the Cleveland Guardians are scheduled to take the field at 0-0 with the series tied 1-1.
