 PITTSBURGH (AP) - If this was Kip Wells' last start for the Pittsburgh Pirates, he'll leave on a good note. Wells, the subject of much trade talk, outdueled Jason Schmidt as the Pirates beat the Giants 3-0 on Friday night.
"You want to pitch good every time out, whether it's your first (start) or your last," said Wells, who hadn't won since Oct. 1 of last season. "But you take the approach that you try to pitch well every time out and whatever happens, happens. I don't feel like I'm necessarily in a situation where this might be my last start, but you ever know."
Wells (1-5), who missed almost three months to start this season due to March surgery to repair a blocked artery in his pitching arm, tossed seven-plus shutout innings, allowing five hits while walking three and striking out three. He will be a free agent at the end of the season.
