Steven Wright has been a revelation for the Boston Red Sox pitching staff this season. First as a long reliever, capable of logging multiple innings to prevent the rest of the bullpen from being overtaxed. Now as a starter, with two turns through the rotation since replacing the injured Drew Pomeranz.
The knuckleballer blanked the Baltimore Orioles over 6 2/3 innings on Monday. That’s his second start in as many opportunities in which he hasn’t allowed a run. Dating back to his time in the bullpen, Wright is working on a 22 2/3 inning scoreless streak.
