Clyde Wright not only pitched a two-hitter but had a perfect night at the plate with a double, single, walk and sacrifice bunt to stand out in the Angels' 4-0 victory over the Rangers. Wright, who throws lefthanded but bats righthanded, drove in two runs with his double in the fourth inning. [The Sporting News]
