Red Sox Steven Wright Is The Right Fit In Boston

Last night’s game was Wright’s first victory in three starts this season. However, the way that Boston’s fifth starting pitcher has performed in those three starts has got people talking. In 6.2 innings, Wright allowed an unearned run on four hits, five walks, and six strikeouts against the Houston Astros. Both of his other starts were against the Toronto Blue Jays, one home game and one away game, and allowed only three earned runs combined. In every start, Wright was able to finish the sixth inning, making the bullpen only need to work the last third of each ballgame.
