Wright's manager, Buck Showalter, said prior to the game that he was excited to evaluate the 27-year-old get on the bump. "I'm looking forward to seeing Mike today," Showalter said. "Mike's in a really good place." Hours later, the skipper watched Wright give up a two-run blast to Phillies' Tommy Joseph in the second inning, but Wright said he was satisfied with how he threw. "You know, I gave up those two runs, but I threw a lot of good pitches, and I'm really happy with some of the pitches I threw," Wright said. "That pitch, I wish I could have back, but I'm really happy with the progression I've made as far as mindset and going out there and executing pitches." Wright is competing with fellow righties Logan Verrett and Tyler Wilson, as well as left-hander Vidal Nuno for one of the final spots in the Orioles' bullpen. Each of the three can start and relieve and has minor league options remaining.
