Steven Wright's return to the Boston Red Sox rotation didn't get off to the greatest start against the hot-hitting Kansas City Royals on Friday - he was lit up for five earned runs in the game's first inning.
His knuckleball, however, was still doing incredible things, absolutely fooling his battery mate, Sandy Leon, with a ridiculous amount of movement.
Wright's start was his first since Aug. 5 after missing three weeks with a jammed shoulder suffered while pinch running.
