Orioles-Tigers Preview: Price Ready To Take The Mound
(AP) - David Price is looking to reach double-digit wins for the seventh straight season Saturday night when the Tigers and Orioles continue their three-game series at Comerica Park.
The majors' top hitting team with runners in scoring position before the current slide, Baltimore has gone 8 for 95 (.084) in such situations during its 3-11 stretch and now faces Price, the five-time All-Star who went 5-0 with a 1.60 ERA in his final seven starts before the break.
Detroit (45-44) is 15-3 this season with its ace left-hander on the mound.
Price, who earned the win in Tuesday's All-Star Game with one scoreless inning, allowed two unearned runs and struck out eight over eight innings in a 4-2 victory at Minnesota on July 9.
"I didn't feel as good tonight as I have in my previous starts," Price said after beating the Twins. "But I pitched deeper tonight. ... That's good when you can go out there and do that."
