David Price picked up his 6th straight victory in his last outing behind another impressive effort. Price held the opposition to 3 runs and 8 hits (including a home run) in 8 innings of work. He struck out 10 without issuing any walks. In his last 10 starts, Price is 7 - 3 and is showing no signs of slowing down. Last season, Price finished the year with a 10 - 8 record and an ERA of 3.33 ERA in 27 starts.
In 2013, Price didn't face the Brewers and he has only faced 6 of the Milwaukee hitters before. Milwaukee's Mark Reynolds is 7 of 29 against Price with 3 homers and 6 RBIs.
