Rays 4, Orioles 2
David Price didn't allow a hit until the fifth in his debut as a starter. (Gail Burton/AP)
By Bill Chastain / MLB.com
Already blessed with strong starting pitching, the Rays got a look at David Price in the role, as he allowed just one earned run over 5 1/3 innings. Jason Bartlett's RBI double in the seventh brought in the winning run as Tampa Bay increased its lead to 2 1/2 games in the AL East.
