BOSTON -- David Price turned in the type of dominant effort he hopes will be more frequent after the All-Star break, leading the Red Sox to a 4-0 victory over the Rays on Sunday afternoon at Fenway Park.
For the first time this season, Price didn't allow a run. The lefty scattered four hits over eight innings, walking one and striking out 10. Once Price (9-6, 4.34 ERA) got through a 27-pitch first inning without giving up a run, he cruised the rest of the day.
David Ortiz hit a two-run homer during Boston's three-run first inning and Price took it from there.
