Red Sox's David Price: Wins fifth straight start

Price allowed two runs on four hits and three walks while striking out seven over seven innings in Boston's 16-2 win over Oakland on Friday. The right-hander is 5-0 with a 2.06 ERA in his last five starts.

Analysis:

The final score may seem like this was a cakewalk for Price, but the game was tight until the middle innings when Boston erupted for 10 runs in the fifth and sixth innings. Price's best stretch of the season has been fueled by him making better pitches, keeping the ball out of the middle of the plate, and finishing off batters. He'll look to make it six straight wins next Wednesday in San Diego.
