A dandy.
Rays 1, Tigers 0
I’m going to be honest, for the first time all season, I only saw bits and pieces of this one because of “learning.” David Price (27 GS, 201.1 IP, 3.00 ERA, 2.93 FIP, 4.7 fWAR) was excellent, allowing just a single run in 8 innings while walking none, allowing a single hit, and punching out nine. He retired the last 23 men he faced. Unfortunately, the Tigers bats couldn’t get to Cobb, who was excellent in his own right. The Tigers threatened late, sort of, but didn’t not complete the rally. Sounds like the middle innings I missed would have been fun. Oh well. Robbie Ray (5 GS, 25.1 IP, 5.33 ERA, 3.65 FIP, 0.4 fWAR) heads to Minnesota Friday.
The Moment: Price dazzles in a CG loss.
