Escape artist
Through three innings of work, Yankee starter Jaret Wright has played the role of escape artist. Wright has allowed just a pair of hits and one run, but he has walked four Red Sox batters, including loading the bases in the third inning.
Of Wright’s 62 pitches, only 29 have been for strikes.
