Sunday night, the Tampa Bay Rays will give the ball to David Price as they face the Detroit Tigers and Rick Porcello. Price will make his 19^th start as Porcello makes his 17^th.

David Price added his 2^nd straight win in his last outing and that evened his record at 7 - 7 with a 3.50 ERA. In the win, Price allowed a run on 4 hits in 7 innings of work. He walked 3 while striking out 9. It was the 2^nd straight start that Price held the opposition to just 1 run. He is well on track to post better numbers this season than last season, when he was 10 - 8 with a 3.33 ERA in 27 starts.

In 2013, Price didn't face the Tigers but he has experience against their lineup. Fortunately for Price, he might not have to face Detroit's Victor Martinez. Martinez is batting .471 with 3 homers and 5 RBIs when facing Price.

Rick Porcello boosted his record to 11- 4 with a 3.12 ERA after picking up his 2^nd straight victory the last time out. In the victory, Porcello went the distance for a complete game shutout as he allowed just 4 hits. It was Porcello's 2nd straight complete game shutout and the 3^rd straight game that he hadn't allowed a run. He should easily surpass last season's record of 13 - 8 and last season's ERA of 4.32 in 29 starts and 3 relief appearances.

In 2013, Porcello lost his only start against the Rays after allowing 3 runs and 8 hits in 6 innings. Overall, he has held the Rays to a .238 average with 20 hits and 7 RBIs in 84 at-bats.
