BOSTON — July 1 was one of the worst days of the year for David Price. As the Boston lefty had yet another awful outing against the Yankees in The Bronx.
He allowed five homers and eight earned runs, both season-highs against the pitcher.
But both Price and Boston manager Alex Cora believe that nightmare was a turning point for Price, who will start Game 2 of the ALDS Saturday night against the Yankees at Fenway Park.
“He said that, ‘Hey, I need to make adjustments,’ ” Cora said of Price’s reaction following the outing. “The next start against Kansas City you [could] see that he was making them, but it didn’t work out.
