David Price had no business winning a postseason start for the first time in Game 5 of the American League Championship Series.
He did anyway, and now the Boston Red Sox are going back to the World Series.
Technically, Boston's $217 million ace went into his Thursday assignment against the Houston Astros at Minute Maid Park on three days' rest. In actuality, it was less than 24 hours. Price had warmed up in both the eighth and ninth innings of Boston's 8-6 win in Game 4, throwing many pitches in the process.
