David Price has managed to become a staple on selected Yankees Classics episodes. Despite career winning numbers against the Yankees, there’s the game in which Price, with Tampa Bay, surrendered Derek Jeter’s 3,000th hit, a home run bomb to left.
There also are more recent versions, including the game in which Price, as a Tiger, labors in a Detroit blizzard, surrendering season highs of 10 hits and eight runs, an effort that led to the unsightly two-game numbers of 16 earned runs through 4 ¹/u2083 innings for his two most-recent appearances against the Yankees before Saturday.
