In Wright's first three spring outings, he allowed seven earned runs over 6 2/3 innings. But the right- hander was on his game this time, holding Minnesota to four singles and striking out two without issuing a walk.
"Like I said before in my last two starts, that easily could have been the same results, because I've felt good," Wright said. "I've felt like I was locating well, all my pitches felt pretty good, so I was happy to finally get the results in this game."
Eduardo Nunez and Miguel Sano hit back-to-back singles with one out in the top of the first inning, but Wright induced a double-play grounder from Carlos Quentin, the first of nine straight batters he retired.
