Price downplays hamstring concerns

ST. LOUIS -- When David Price takes the mound Saturday at Busch Stadium for the first time in his career, he will not only be trying to silence the Cardinals' bats, but he will be trying to silence questions about a hamstring injury that forced him from his last start and pushed him back two days.

Price did his part to render any concerns moot in the visitors' clubhouse on Friday.

"If I had to stay on five days, if it was the playoffs or the World Series or something and I needed to pitch, I would have been out there," Price said.
