| Wright (L) And Wright (R) |
For a big part of this season—before
Rick Porcello emerged as the #1 ace—
Steven Wright was the most consistent Boston starter. Even during a bad stretch of pitching in July, he went 4-0 in six starts. It's been that kind of year for the soon-to-be 32-year-old (13-5, 3.01 ERA), who is no longer confused with the Boston-based comic of the same name (although, amazingly, the knuckleballer
also has a seashell collection scattered across the world's beaches). Anyway, Wright is back from the DL (a stint caused by
John Farrell's bizarre decision to use him as a pinch-runner) and
he will start tonight at Fenway against the Royals. It is a
welcome return.
