How David Price Lifted Nathan Eovaldi’s Spirits After Game 3 Loss
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
