Price hurls complete-game shutout
The Tampa Bay Rays keep on rolling. Behind a stellar effort from David Price, the Rays cruised to a 6-0 win over the Toronto Blue Jays on Sunday to win the weekend series.
The young, talented Price recorded the first complete game of his career, limiting the Blue Jays to just four hits on the afternoon. He struck out nine and walked one, needing 109 pitches to close it out.
Price was supported by a big eighth inning from his offense. Tampa Bay scored four runs in the inning to blow the game open, on the strength of RBI hits by Evan Longoria and Carlos Pena and a pinch-hit double from Jason Bartlett.
John Jaso also provided production from the catcher’s spot for the second straight game. After homering and knocking in three yesterday, he went 2-for-3 with 2 RBI on Sunday.
