Wright (1-2) allowed four runs on nine hits over 3.2 innings in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

It all unraveled quickly for Wright, who cruised through three innings before the Orioles reached him for six hits, including two home runs. The knuckle-baller, who permitted 12 homers over 156.2 innings in 2016, has already been tattooed for seven long balls in 17.2 innings this season. Brian MacPherson of the Providence Journal, with visual aid from the invaluable BrooksBaseball.net, points out that the movement of Wright's knuckler isn't where it was prior to his shoulder injury last season. "I just don't feel like they have the violence they used to have last year," Wright said. "It's not as unpredictable as it was last year before I got hurt."
