David Price's struggles continue, especially at Fenway Park

BOSTON -- The root of David Price's problems through the first month of the season can be summed up quite succinctly.

Location, location, location.

There's the location of some of Price's worst pitches, like the belt-high fastball over the heart of the plate that Alex Rodriguez crushed for a two-run home run in the third inning Sunday night or the nearly identical pitch that Rodriguez hit off the wall in left-center field for a two-run double in the fifth.

And then there's the location where Price makes the majority of his starts: 4 Yawkey Way -- Fenway Park, to be exact -- home of the Boston Red Sox and a ballpark where the ace left-hander almost always had success as a visitor with the Tampa Bay Rays.
