Quotes, notes and stars from the Red Sox' 3-2 lost to Baltimore:
"As the game goes on, I want to get better, and for the most part I did that, but one pitch in this game can lose it for you.'' - David Price on his start.
"I've got to make better pitches and execute better.'' - Price on the four homers he's allowed in the last two starts.
"I'm better than three runs. I know that. If you told me that everytime I get to the field that I could have eight innings and three runs, I'm not going to take that. I want to take my chances to go out there and put up nine zeros. I'm getting there, I know that.'' - Price.
"He made a lot of great pitches tonight, well-located pitches. Every single pitch that I saw beside the one I made contract with, were right on the corner, dotted.'' - Jackie Bradley Jr. on Chris Tillman.

STARS:
1) Chris Tillman
Baltimore's No. 1 starter limited the Red Sox to a single run over seven innings and improved to 9-1.
2) Manny Machado
It wasn't exactly a tape measure shot, but Machado turned in a nice piece of hitting by fighting off a tough pitch from Price in the first and sending it past the right field foul pole for a two-run homer.
3) David Price
Price made two mistakes, resulting in two homers and three runs, but was otherwise very good, going eight innings for the second straight start while fanning 11 and walking none.
