The left-hander threw less than 90 pitches and only allowed two hits; one of them was a three-run home run, against the White Sox. Price fared well against the Orioles last season by posting a 3.71 ERA and holding Baltimore batters to .175 at the plate in five starts.
After a blistering first month of the season, Dylan Bundy has come back to earth a bit. That’s not to say Bundy has been pitching well, as the righty has posted a steady 3.92 ERA through the month of May and pitched at least 6.0 innings in all six outings.
