The nine days between starts didn’t freshen Tyler Wells. The break busted his roll. The Dodgers sent 10 batters to the plate in the second inning, scored five runs and drained 40 pitches out of Wells, who didn’t return for the third in the Orioles’ 10-3 loss before an announced crowd of 22,775 at Camden Yards.

When the Orioles' Anthony Santander launched a two-run shot in the first inning Sunday, it was a big swing for Baltimore. It provided the Orioles an early 3-0 lead, and they would go on to win and sweep Miami. But it was also a milestone home run for Santander. His 17th of the year was also the 100th of his career - a mark he reached in his 526th M
