David Price became father to a baby girl this weekend, but the Yankees remain his daddy.
At least that’s the message the sellout crowd of 47,267 sent the southpaw Sunday night as the AL East leaders hammered Price yet again in The Bronx to close out a four-game sweep with a commanding 7-4 victory over the skidding Red Sox.
“Who’s your daddy, who’s your daddy,” — the same derisive chant aimed at Pedro Martinez years ago — could be heard several times during Price’s rocky 2 ²/u2083-inning effort, and for good reason. The five-time All-Star was blistered for nine hits, seven for extra bases, and seven earned runs as the Red Sox lost their eighth straight game and fell a whopping 14 ¹/u2082 games behind the Yankees in the AL East.
