When Casper Wells stepped into the batter's box to face Andy Pettitte Sunday, the left fielder had scouting reports on the veteran that went back many years to Wells' days as a Yankee fan growing up in Schenectady, N.Y.

"I've seen him on TV so many times, I've been scouting him since I was a little kid," Wells told reporters after Seattle's 6-2 win on Saturday.

All that time watching Pettitte apparently paid off as the left fielder hit a home run off the southpaw in the sixth inning of Seattle's win. With Seattle up 2-0, Wells struck a drive off the right-field foul pole for his first home run of the year that boosted Seattle's lead to 4-0. He finished with with a game-high three RBIs.

"He's like my sister's favorite pitcher too and she tweeted the other day, "Andy Pettitte's back!" I'm like 'yeah, I have to face him Sunday, who are you rooting for?'" Wells told reporters. "But it's always been sort of a dream of mine to hit a home run in Yankee Stadium and facing Andy Pettitte, it's a lot of dreams coming true today. It was pretty special."

While hitting a homer off the veteran he grew up watching was nice, Wells also fulfilled his mother's Mother's Day wish to hit a home run Sunday. His parents were in attendance.

"I got her a Burberry bag last year," Wells told reporters. "So this year I got her a home run at Yankee Stadium."
