I didn't see the game, but Wang gets credited with the strike out and Wright goes to first base on either a wild pitch charged to Wang or a passed ball charged to Posada. A batter becomes a runner when a third strike is not caught and first base is not occupied with less than two outs or when there are two outs (regardless if first base is occupied). It's rule 6.09(b).
