TONIGHT’S START: The Red Sox have won each of Price’s last 6 starts and are 14-2 in his last 16. His 1.03 ERA since the All-Star break (3 ER/26.1 IP) is the lowest in the AL (min. 20.0 IP)...

Trails only PIT’s Trevor Williams (0.87) for the lowest mark in MLB during that time. Allowed 2 runs or fewer in each of his 4 starts since the All-Star break, tied for his longest

stretch of such starts in 2018 (also 5/12-28). Among AL pitchers with 20.0+ IP since the All-Star break, also holds the 3rd-lowest

opponent OPS (.532), 8th-lowest WHIP (0.99), and 11th-lowest opponent AVG (.214). Has not surrendered a HR in his last 4 starts (26.1 IP), his longest streak of starts without

a HR this season. Allowed 12 ER over 8.0 IP in 2 starts from 7/1-7 (at NYY, at KC)...In his other 14 starts since

5/12, is 10-1 with a 2.32 ERA (23 ER/89.1 IP)...Allowed 3 ER or fewer in each of those 14. Is 1 of 5 AL pitchers to start at least 17 team wins this year (Severino-19, Cole-18,

Porcello-17, Leake-17). His 12 wins are tied for the 2nd-most by a Red Sox this season (Porcello-15, Sale-12), and

tied for the 7th-most in the AL during the campaign. Has issued just 6 BB over his last 7 starts (41.0 IP, 1.32 BB/9.0 IP).

Last start: Struck out a season-high 10 with 0 BB over 6.0 scoreless IP on 8/11 at BAL (5 H). Was his 2nd scoreless start in his last 4 outings (6.1 IP on 7/20 at DET)...Of his 4 scoreless

starts this season, 3 have come on the road (also 3/30 at TB, 4/5 vs. TB). Marked his 1st start with 10+ SO since 7/10/16 vs. TB (8.0 scoreless IP), and 1st with 0

BB since 6/14/16 vs. BAL (11 SO, 8.0 IP). Price’s 37 career double-digit SO efforts are the 4th-most in the AL since the start of 2009,

trailing only Chris Sale (64), Justin Verlander (46), and Corey Kluber (43).VS. THE RAYS:

Allowed 5 ER in 5.2 IP on 4/28 vs. TB...Held the Rays to 1 or 0 runs over 6.0+ IP in his other 3 starts vs. the club this year (1-0, 0.45 ERA, 1 ER/20.0 IP).

Hurled 7.0 scoreless IP in each of his first 2 starts vs. TB in 2018 (3/30 at Tropicana Field, 4/5 at Fenway Park)...Is 1 of 4 Red Sox with such a streak vs. TB...Price also did so in 2016.

No pitcher has held TB to 1 or 0 runs over 6.0+ IP in 4 starts during a season...Only 2 have limited the club to 1 or 0 runs over any length start: NYY’s Andy Pettitte (4, 2001), BAL’s Miguel Gonzalez (4, 2015).

The last Red Sox with 4 starts of 1 or 0 runs allowed over 6.0+ IP vs. a single opponent in a season was Roger Clemens in 1992 (4 vs. CAL). In 8 outings (7 starts) vs. TB beginning 7/10/16, is 3-1 with a 1.45 ERA (8 ER/49.2 IP), a .172 opponent AVG (29-for-169), a 0.89 WHIP, 49 SO, and 15 BB. Selected by TB with the 1st overall pick in the 2007 MLB Draft...Went 82-47 with a 3.18 ERA in 175 career appearances (170 starts) for the club (2008-14).

AT HOME: Has won each of his last 5 home decisions, his longest streak of winning decisions at home as a Red Sox and tied for the 2nd-longest of his career (7, 2015-16

with TOR & BOS). Over 7 starts during his home winning streak, holds a 2.51 ERA (13 ER/46.2 IP).

2018 HIGHLIGHTS: Won 6 consecutive decisions from 5/12-6/14, with the Red Sox winning all 7 of Price’s starts during that streak...Marked both Price’s longest streak of team wins

in his starts and winning decisions since 8/12-9/22/16 with BOS (9 starts, 8 wins).
