Rangers 4, Rays 0

By Alden Gonzalez / MLB.com
David Price allowed just three hits in seven innings, but he also walked three, and two of the free passes led to three runs and a loss in the finale. The Rays were held to five hits, and their best threat in the seventh was snuffed out when Scott Feldman struck out B.J. Upton and robbed Willy Aybar of a run-scoring hit.
