Steven Wright’s knuckleball was on the move on Thursday night.

In the Red Sox’ 13-2 win over the Twins at Fenway Park, Wright pitched eight innings, fanned nine, and allowed four hits and two runs with one earned.

Wright’s strike-three knuckleball to Twins designated hitter Miguel Sano in the seventh inning was a doozy. On a full count, Sano chased the left-breaking knuckler, and swung himself into a full spin.

Here’s your bonus knuckleball, a strike-three pitch to Eduardo Nunez in the eighth inning. Wright stumped Nunez with three consecutive knuckleballs in the at-bat.
