Right-hander Mike Wright made his last start of the Grapefruit League exhibition season Friday night, pitching four innings in the Orioles’ 4-0 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays at Dunedin Stadium.
Wright has been at the front of the competition for one of the last slots in the starting rotation and did nothing to change that during a workmanlike performance against a decent Jays spring lineup.
He allowed two runs on three hits and two walks, completing his exhibition statistical line with a 3.32 ERA in 21 2/3 innings. He figures to drop in behind the presumptive top three starters — Alex Cobb, Andrew Cashner and Dylan Bundy — if the Orioles go with a conventional rotation.
