All-Star knuckleballer Steven Wright has done the job many times this season, but Tuesday was not one of those occasions. The Tigers scored four runs through two innings, but the Boston bats -- fueled by a three-run homer from David Ortiz -- turned a 4-0 deficit into a 5-4 lead in the fourth.
Out came Wright for what proved a thoroughly frustrating fifth inning in which he walked the first two batters and gave up four runs.
