Entering tonight’s game, 25-year-old Daniel Wright had only pitched 14 innings above the AA level. He has now pitched 19.1 innings above the AA level. Wright’s first inning as a major leaguer didn’t start quite as planned. Solid hits by Chase Utley and Corey Seager were followed by a lucky bloop by Justin Turner, scoring Utley. Wright had given up a run before he recorded an out. He then struck out Adrian Gonzalez and induced Trayce Thompson and Joc Pederson into fly balls to end the inning.
Wright’s final line in his major league debut will go down as 4 R (3 ER) over 5.
