Red Sox: Matt Barnes’ rough outing is no cause for concern

On a day that Boston Red Sox fans had long been waiting for almost two full months, David Price finally made his 2017 season debut.

The outing lasted 5 innings. Price allowed three runs on two hits, walking two and striking out four. The damage was done off a three-run homer by Melky Cabrera.

The Sox had preserved the lead until Matt Barnes entered the game. Barnes then gave up the tying run and the go-ahead run, which led to the Red Sox losing 5-4.
