HOUSTON – David Price left the Red Sox game against the Astros in the first inning Saturday due to flu-like symptoms, the team announced.
Flu-like symptoms for David Price. The panic has been canceled, please return to your homes.

Price got two quick outs, then gave up a single to Michael Brantley, after which manager Alex Cora went to the mound without a trainer. He had a fairly long discussion with Price, after which the lefthander walked to the dugout.
He had thrown only 15 pitches.
