David Price pitched like an ace on Monday night. Without an overpowering fastball, he used all of his other pitches to keep Rays hitter off-balance in eight brilliant innings of two-hit ball in
the 6-2 win. His effort was help by a stupendous HR-robbing catch by rookie
Andrew Benintendi in left-field. Leaping over the wall to save two runs
"Bandit-Tendi" kept his balance and made the out. Boston's offense was paced by
Xander Bogaerts (2-4, 2 RBIs HR),
Hanley Ramirez and
Sandy 'Babe' Leon. But it was
'The Catch' that had everyone talking. The win pulled the Red Sox into a first-place tie with the idle Blue Jays. They are now 6-2 on this road trip.
