As the first overall selection in the 2007 draft, David Price has dealt with lofty expectations throughout his brief major league career. If that was an issue during an inconsistent 2009 for the left-hander, it certainly doesn’t appear to be a problem now. Price looks to build off the best performance of his career and help the Tampa Bay Rays rebound from a rare loss Saturday night against the Kansas City Royals. After making five appearances in 2008, Price showed flashes of his enormous potential last year and won 10 games despite a 4.42 ERA. Outstanding in his first two starts this season, Price lasted only five-plus innings in a 4-1 loss to the White Sox on April 20. He returned to form in a big way Sunday, throwing a four-hitter in a 6-0 win over Toronto for his first complete game. He struck out nine and walked one while throwing 108 pitches.

The win improved Price to 10-3 with a 2.65 ERA in 15 career appearances at Tropicana Field, where he threw seven strong innings in an 8-2 victory over the Royals on July 31. Tampa Bay received another strong performance from a starter Friday night when Jeff Niemann allowed one run in 7 1-3 innings, but the offense was limited to four hits in a 3-2 loss, snapping the Rays’ five-game win streak. Even Longoria homered and drove in both runs as Tampa Bay lost for only the third time in 17 games and ended April 17-6. After reaching the World Series in 2008, Tampa Bay went 9-14 in April last season and missed the playoffs.
