ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — David Price is back in the Red Sox rotation and looking, feeling and — more important — performing like one of the best pitchers in baseball.
The five-time All-Star was dominant in his first start since last July, allowing four singles over seven innings of Boston’s 1-0 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays on Friday night.
Price (1-0), who spent two stints on the disabled list and finished 2017 in the bullpen, struck out five and walked none to help the defending AL East champions rebound from blowing a four-run lead in losing on opening day.
