spring training invitation. He was officially added to the roster before the start of the season on March 27. Wright pitched better at Dodger Stadium than on the road, posting a 5–0 record and a 1.71 ERA at home versus an 0–3 record and a 5.50 ERA in away games. He allowed no runs in 15 of his last 17 games. In 66 games, he had a 5–3 record and 3.72 ERA. After the season, he became a free agent. Tampa Bay Rays On January 22, 2013, Wright signed a minor league contract with the Tampa Bay Rays. By this time, he was one of three players in the last three decades to play for at least 17 years and never make the playoffs. His contract was selected by the Rays on March 31. On September 1, with the Rays facing a predominantly left-handed Oakland lineup, Rays manager Joe Maddon elected to skip right-handed starter Roberto Hernández's start in favor of a bullpen game handled mostly by left-handers. Wright, making his first start since 2007, allowed one run in innings and left with the game tied, but Oakland won 5–1. He finished the season with a 2–2 record in 66 appearances, and his 3.09 ERA was the lowest of his career. Wright finally reached the playoffs, as the Rays won a wild card berth and defeated the Indians in the AL Wild Card Game. He made two appearances in the AL Division Series (ALDS) against the Red Sox. In Game 1, he finished a game the Rays trailed 8–2, allowing four runs in the eighth inning of a 12–2 loss at Fenway Park. He relieved Jeremy Hellickson with no outs and the bases loaded in the second inning of Game 4, getting out of the inning with no runs scoring by striking out Jarrod Saltalamacchia and inducing Stephen Drew to hit into a double play. However, Tampa ultimately lost the game 3–1 and was eliminated from the playoffs. After the season, he became a free agent. Los Angeles Dodgers, second stint On December 24, 2013, the Dodgers announced that they had signed Wright to a one-year Major League contract, the first time since 2005 that he was guaranteed a spot on the roster coming into spring training. He pitched better in the first half of the season than the second half, posting a 3.50 ERA prior to the All-Star break
