After blowing a 5-1 lead, allowing a career-high eight runs in 3 2/3 innings and watching his ERA balloon to 7.06 in a 12-8 loss to the Rays on Thursday, David Price pleaded with Red Sox fans to stick with him.
Price bookended the Red Sox’ first homestand with a shaky home opener start (five runs in five innings) in a loss to the Orioles and Thursday’s meltdown. He’ll get another chance to back his tweet with his next start Tuesday in Atlanta.
