Orioles' Mike Wright provides quality start with rotation spot potentially at stake

Mike Wright hasn't had many opportunities to prove his worth in the Orioles starting rotation. Sixteen days into the season and Wright was stepping on the mound Tuesday for just his second start, his scheduled starts postponed twice because of weather and pushed back one other time.

And even though he posted a quality start in the Orioles' 4-3 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays, Wright might already be pitching to save his spot.

Wright's performance Tuesday — he allowed three runs over six innings — was his first start of six or more innings in nine starts, since his second major league start, last May 23.
