Boston Red Sox pitcher David Price made the most of Tuesday's favorable matchup against the woeful Atlanta Braves, matching his career-high mark of 14 strikeouts as the Red Sox cruised to an 11-4 victory, per Pete Abraham of the Boston Globe.
Coming off an eight-run shelling in his previous outing, Boston's prized offseason acquisition overcame a shaky start to Tuesday's game, eventually holding Atlanta scoreless from the fifth through eighth innings after surrendering two runs through the first four frames.
Price held the Braves to two runs on six hits and two walks, ultimately exiting with a 6-2 lead after eight innings and 114 pitches, having struck out each of the last five batters he faced.
