Knuckleballer delivering Wright stuff consistently for Red Sox

BOSTON -- After issuing a four-pitch walk to Atlanta Braves third baseman Daniel Castro with two outs in the top of the seventh inning on Wednesday night, Boston Red Sox right-hander Steven Wright received a visit from pitching coach Carl Willis.

Willis seemed to smirk as he approached and Wright shook his head in disgust. The knuckleballer then agreed with whatever his coach had to say, stepped back to the rubber and proceeded to end another outstanding effort in dramatic fashion, fanning the next man up on three pitches and jogging off triumphantly.
