Motivated by Shark, Price turns in stellar start

DETROIT -- David Price says he's getting better with each start, and he matched up with the Jeff Samardzija, the White Sox's big offseason acquisition, in a pitchers' duel on Friday afternoon at Comerica Park.

Price allowed one run on four hits over eight innings, though he left the game with a no-decision. The Tigers pulled out a 2-1 victory in the ninth on a walk-off single by shortstop Jose Iglesias.

A second-inning home run by Chicago right fielder Avisail Garcia was the first earned run allowed this season by Price, who gave up three unearned runs in his last start.
