I know what you’re thinking; how can the Baltimore Orioles fall 6-1 and here I am saying that Mike Wright is a hard-luck loser? Well folks, in essence, he is. Wright’s line: 6.1 IP, 8 H, 5 R, 0 BB, 4 K. But again, how can a guy who gave up five runs be a hard-luck loser?
Wright was basically left in for one out too many – and in fairness, the Orioles couldn’t have known that he was running on empty with as good as he threw this afternoon. You also have to keep in mind that Kansas
City began their big push today in the way that they normally do…with a fluky play.
