NEW YORK -- As much as any player in the Boston Red Sox clubhouse, David Price needed a dose of postgame revelry here Tuesday night.
Price took leave of the team last weekend to attend the funeral of one of his best friends, Terry Wanthalangsy, in their hometown of Murfreesboro, Tennessee. Wanthalangsy, 30, died from complications due to brain cancer, leaving behind a wife and young son. And while the Red Sox swept the Tampa Bay Rays at Tropicana Field to extend their winning streak to 11 games, their ace lefty grieved alongside family and friends.
