David Price exits start vs Twins early, not injury related

Share

David Price exited his start against the Twins Tuesday night after five innings and 73 pitches and was replaced by Mike Shawaryn. 

According to the team, Price's removal from the game was not injury related. 

Price was looking sharp against a dangerous Twins lineup Rick Porcello had stifled a night before. Price only allowed one earned run on four hits and two strikeouts. The game was tied 1-1 when Price was pulled as Boston looked for its seventh straight win.

With the Sox rolling and getting consistently strong outings from its starting pitchers, losing Price would definitely have been a blow to a team searching for some of the magic it had last season during its World Series championship run.
