ARLINGTON, Texas -- Say this for David Price: When he's bad, he's really, really bad.
And the Boston Red Sox ace has rarely been worse than he was on Friday night.
Facing the AL West-leading Texas Rangers, a chief nemesis throughout his career, Price got rocked for six runs in just 2 1/3 innings, his shortest start since April 22, 2015. He faced 18 batters and gave up 12 hits in what amounted to the third-worst start of his career based on game score, trailing only an Aug. 27, 2014 dud against the New York Yankees and an April 22, 2015 trouncing by the Yankees in a game played in snowy conditions in Detroit.
