Watch: Bautista takes Price deep in return to Toronto

In December, Marcus Stroman said "it' be cool" if David Price got booed in his return to Toronto, but the fans at Rogers Centre didn't offer up much of a reaction Sunday afternoon when the veteran left-hander - a principal character in the Blue Jays' magical 2015 season - took the mound north of the border for the first time since signing with the Boston Red Sox.

Jose Bautista heeded Stroman's words, however, and gave his former teammate a pretty cold reception.

During the fifth inning of Sunday's series finale, Bautista shattered a scoreless tie with a mammoth home run off Price that smacked high off the mesh foul pole, affording the Blue Jays a 2-0 lead with his sixth career homer off the 30-year-old lefty.

Welcome back, bud.
