David Price’s eyes welled up when asked after the Red Sox’s World Series-clinching game what it means to him to be a good teammate. “A lot,” the left-hander said after gathering himself. And if you think Price’s selflessness as a teammate is being overblown, Nathan Eovaldi likely would be happy to prove you wrong. Eovaldi was tabbed with a heartbreaking loss in Game 3 of the World Series, which saw the right-hander toss 97 pitches over six innings of relief on the heels of two stellar appearances in the first two games of the series. The Red Sox rallied around Eovaldi after the 18-inning loss, but Price went the extra mile to ensure

Red Sox-Dodgers Lineup: David Price Gets Ball With World Series Title In Sight
Will the Boston Red Sox be spraying champagne Sunday night or can the Los Angeles Dodgers book their return trip to Boston? The Red Sox erased a four-run lead in Game 4 of the World Series on Saturday night, exploding for nine runs in the final three innings to grab a 9-6 win and take a 3-1 series lead in the Fall Classic. With a championship within their grasp, the Red Sox will trot out a similar lineup to the one that did damage in Game 4. J.D. Martinez will once again get the nod in right field with Mookie Betts in center, Andrew Benintendi in left and Jackie Bradley Jr. beginning the game
Red Sox Turn To David Price For World Series Game 2 Vs. Dodgers
For the first time in his big league career, David Price will be looking to earn his second straight playoff win.

Red Sox ‘Likely’ Will Use David Price As Reliever At Some Point In ALDS
Sick of seeing David Price on the mound in the playoffs, Boston Red Sox fans? Well, you probably should prepare yourselves to see him again — and really soon. Price, of course, suffered another playoff disaster Saturday night, surrendering three runs in 1 2/3 innings in Boston’s 6-2 loss to the New York Yankees in Game 2 of the American League Division Series. And with Nathan Eovaldi slated to start Game 3, Rick Porcello likely pitching Game 4 and Chris Sale in line to take the mound in a potential Game 5, it was fair to wonder whether Price would see the mound again in the best-of-five series. Redemption, however, might be found
David Price, Masahiro Tanaka To Square Off In Game 2 Of Red Sox-Yankees ALDS
The Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees received two very different results from their respective starting pitchers Friday night. Chris Sale was sharp over 5 1/3 innings of work, allowing two runs on five hits with eight strikeouts. J.A. Happ, however, was chased after just two-plus innings, surrendering five runs on four hits with one walk and two strikeouts as the Red Sox claimed a 5-4 victory in Game 1 of the two sides’ American League Division Series. David Price now will get the ball for the Red Sox in Game 2 and will be opposed by Masahiro Tanaka. Price had a successful regular season, but infamously has struggled in the
