The knuckleball was dancing again.
Steven Wright had it working during a hot and muggy day at Camden Yards, dropping zero-spin pitches through the strike zone as the second-place Orioles swung fruitlessly, often without any contact at all as he threw a complete game in the Red Sox’ 7-2 win over the Orioles on Monday afternoon.
The win pushed the Sox’ record to 31-20 and extended their lead in the American League East to two games over the O’s.
A home run to straightaway center field from Jackie Bradley Jr. put Wright ahead in the sixth.
