Rays Vs. Rangers, ALDS Game 5: David Price Finished After Six
That brought us to the top of the seventh, and Joe Maddon has gone to the bullpen to get Grant Balfour in relief of starter David Price. Price was reasonably effective on the mound but done in by some aggressive baserunning on the Rangers' part, and he certainly wasn't able to get as deep as he wanted. Price's line:
6 innings
8 hits
3 runs
0 walks
6 strikeouts
104 pitches (68 strikes)
