A rocky first inning for David Price had Boston Red Sox fans shaking their heads. Sure, he struck out the side. He also coughed up a two-run homer that put his team in an early hole. This was the last thing Price needed following a pair of clunkers to open the month of July.
The veteran lefty would settle down to produce a quality start. Price went 6 2/3 innings, allowing three runs on six hits. He didn’t walk a batter and struck out eight. The effort was rewarded with his 10th win of the season, thanks in large part to a dramatic grand slam by Mookie Betts.
