The wins keep piling up for Tampa Bay Rays left-hander David Price, who is tied for the AL lead with nine victories. There may be nobody as envious as Kenshin Kawakami. Atlanta’s hard-luck right-hander faces a major challenge as he tries again to earn his first win of the season, although the Braves bring a nine-game home winning streak into Tuesday night’s opener of a three-game series between the division leaders. The Rays surrendered a share of the AL East lead to the New York Yankees on Sunday following their 6-1 loss to Florida, but they’re still tied for the best record in baseball in part because of Price. The No. 1 overall draft pick in 2007, Price seems to be realizing his potential in his first full season. Although he walked a season-high five Wednesday against Toronto, he held the Blue Jays to one run in six innings of a 10-1 win.

Price grew up in Tennessee rooting for the Braves, who were in the midst of winning 14 consecutive division titles at the time, and this year’s team could be primed for a return to the top of the NL East. Atlanta leads the division after going 24-9 since May 10, the best record in the majors in that stretch. The Braves finished their weekend series in Minnesota with back-to-back victories, including a 7-3 triumph Sunday. One thing they can’t seem to do is get Kawakami a win, even though the Japanese veteran has posted four quality starts in his last five outings. He had eight strikeouts in six shutout innings Wednesday at Arizona, but didn’t get any run support in Atlanta’s 2-1 loss.
