not in this situation. He is mandated to give Wright the win because he will have been the only pitcher of record with the unsurrendered lead. You only get a choice if more than one relief pitcher pitched after you took the lead for the final time.
It usually goes to the first reliever in that situation unless he was spectacularly bad.
