BOX SCORE
HEADLINES
Rocky start for Price: David Price had his worst start of the season, smacked around for eight hits and six runs in 5.2 innings pitched. He had poor command with four walks, and while he had some tough luck when Denard Span hit a liner to center that took a strange bounce and got past Jackie Bradley Jr. for a two-run inside-the-park homer, but didn't pitch well overall.
Don't stop running!
