Wells allowed one run in five innings of work during the Rangers 6-2 win over Oakland, but he didn't make it easy on himself.

Randy Wells still trying to work into form

Texas Rangers Blog | ESPN Dallas — GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Randy Wells knows he is close. If could just get that third strike. If he could just not hang that one pitch. If he just grabbed a little bit less of the plate. While he has allowed his share of baserunners through his first three starts this spring, Wells has also consistently found a way to limit the damage. Instead of giving up strings of hits and walks that lead to big innings, opponents have had quick strikes where they score a run, only to have Wells figure a way out of the jam.
