Boston will trot out Steven Wright on Saturday to square off against Baltimore's Jayson Aquino.
"I just don't feel like (the knuckleballs) have the violence that they used to have a year ago", Wright said last night after allowing four runs in 32⁄3 innings in the Red Sox' 4-2 loss to the Baltimore Orioles. These two teams have had some serious battles in recent years, and it looks we could be in for some more in the coming days.
"That's probably the most frustrating thing", Wright said. "It was very challenging. Um, I'm sorry that it kind of ended up that high and fortunately it didn't not hit him but I think he's got every right to be mad that that one got loose". Mancini belted a three-run shot that night followed by Schoop's solo shot.
Dylan Bundy's fantastic start to the season has helped keep the Orioles in first place in the American League East. Taylor's homer was the first run allowed this season by Archie Bradley (1-0), who went two innings to get the victory.
"I just told him I didn't have anything to do with that", Pedroia said. "I don't really know", he said. "It's an incredible feeling what I'm feeling right now". "But I'm just thankful to the Orioles for this opportunity and allowing me to start a game at the major league level". "It's just a matter of getting everything back, the muscle memory back, and getting back to where I was before the injury".
Mychal Givens followed with two flawless innings, Donnie Hart got two outs in the ninth and Darren O'Day finished for his first save. Marco Hernandez is starting at second again on Sunday and batting ninth against Kevin Gausman.
Boston starter Eduardo Rodriguez (1-1) allowed one hit over six innings, walking five and striking out seven.
