All spring long, Mike Wright Jr.'s goal has been to make the Orioles' roster on Opening Day and remain in the only organization he’s ever known. To do that, he's hoped to draw on a familiar feeling from the last time he accomplished that.
Wright, 28, has sought all spring long to recreate the positive feeling of the 2016 camp, when he pitched his way into the starting rotation despite the team entering camp with five major league starters.
After three innings of one-run, two-hit ball Wednesday against the Tampa Bay Rays at Charlotte Sports Park, he said he's closing in on that sentiment.
