It's the little things that make this team pleasurable to watch.

"[Wright] did not give up his second hit until the seventh inning, when Starlin Castro led off with a double. McCann followed with a deep flyout to right field, moving Castro to third base, and it appeared that the Yankees were finally catching up to Wright’s fluttering pitches.

Trailing by 1-0 in the count to Mark Teixeira, Wright threw a knuckleball that bobbled out of catcher Ryan Hanigan’s mitt. Seeing the ball on the ground, Castro broke prematurely for home. Hanigan quickly recovered and threw Castro out as he retreated to third. 

'That completely confused me,' said Castro."
