David Price is Going to be Alright

It’s been a rough first week for the starting pitchers  as Red Sox starters have an ERA of 6.66 in 25.2 innings pitched. That was supposed to end today with the second start for David Price coming on the home opener. In the end Price struggled in the 3rd inning...
