BOSTON -- David Price was the ace the Red Sox have expected. David Ortiz is making what hes calling his final season look historic.Price threw eight shutout innings in his best start with Boston, Ortiz entered the All-Star break with impressive numbers after hitting a two-run homer, and the Red Sox sent the Tampa Bay Rays to their sixth straight loss, 4-0 Sunday.The 40-year-old Ortiz heads to his 10th All-Star game with a .332 average and 72 RBI in what he announced last fall will be his final year. Its the most RBI ever at the break by a player 40 or older.Its probably beyond our expectations coming into his final season, Boston manager John Farrell said. Just a powerful and impressive first half.Ortiz got dressed at his locker and joked, I feel like Im 30 before reflecting on his upcoming final All-Star game.Its my last one, he said before heading out to begin his travel to San Diego. I look forward to being a part of it.The slugger has struggled with sore feet this season. He said hes looking forward to some rest before the second half.All I worry about now is coming back in one piece, he joked.Price (9-6) struck out 10, allowed four hits, walked one and hit two batters in snapping a personal two-game losing streak. Price didnt give up a hit after the third inning, retiring 17 of the last 19 batters.Coming into the break with a higher than expected ERA, the lefty said he never felt down.I was never discouraged, he said after lowering his ERA from 4.64 to 4.34. I never lost confidence in my abilities and I know my coaching and my teammates didnt either.The victory completed a three-game sweep for the Red Sox and handed Tampa Bay its 22nd loss in 25 games.Obviously not the way we wanted to go into the break, Rays manager Kevin Cash said. Hopefully we can erase a little bit of whats taken place over the last 25 games.Mookie Betts had three singles and drove in a run to help the Red Sox complete their first sweep since a three-game set at home against Oakland on May 9-11.Brad Ziegler, acquired from Arizona after Friday nights games, completed the four-hitter by getting the final three outs in his Red Sox debut.Jake Odorizzi (3-5) got the loss, allowing four runs in five innings.The Ortiz one was a fastball down and possibly tailing away from him, Odorizzi said. I think he just kind of one-handed it.Price had received two runs or fewer in each of his last seven starts. His teammates offered better support right away by grabbing a 3-0 lead in the first inning.Ortiz hit his homer into the Green Monster seats after Xander Bogaerts sacrifice fly. Betts RBI single made it 4-0 an inning later.GLAD AND SURPRISEDZiegler wore No. 29 after the Red Sox acquired the 36-year-old from Arizona for a pair of minor leaguers.The right-hander said the last conversation he had with the Diamondbacks before the trade was the possibility of an extension.I said: `Im open to whatever. Just come back to me and let me know, he said. The next time I heard from them I was traded. Thats part of why I was caught off-guard and surprised how early it happened.MONEY MATTERSBoston receives $5.2 million from Milwaukee as part of Thursdays trade to acquire infielder Aaron Hill from Milwaukee, offsetting most of the approximately $5.6 million remaining of his $12 million salary this year.

PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Pirates, once again in the running for the National League wild-card playoff game theyve played host to the last three seasons, still havent solidified a starting rotation 93 games into the 2016 season.Left-hander Jeff Locke (8-5) tries to add a bit of clarification on Wednesday night as he takes on another struggling starter, right-hander Chase Anderson (4-10), in the second game of a three-game series against the Milwaukee Brewers.The Pirates come in with two straight wins and 11 in their 15 games. The Brewers have dropped five of six.Lockes record looks OK -- he is 3-0 in his last four starts and 7-2 in his last 10 -- but he has a 5.26 ERA and yielded a troubling 27 earned runs in 31 1/3 innings. And despite being a left-hander who has shown he can win consistently in the majors, he hears rumors nearly every time he starts that hes on the trading block.The Pirates havent done much to quiet the talk, as they hold in-season auditions for their rotation that, of late, added right-hander Jameson Taillon from Triple-A and auditioned right-hander Chad Kuhl -- who pitched six innings of one-hit shutout ball on Sunday in Washington -- and right-hander Tyler Glasnow, who is expected to return from Triple-A Indianapolis to start Saturday against the Dodgers. Taillon held the Brewers to one run in six innings on Tuesday night.In all, eight Pirates made their major league debuts in the first half of the season, prompting manager Clint Hurdle to say Tuesday, The scenario (for that) had to be crazy, and it was.More young pitching could be on the way, too, making this start even more important for Locke as the trading deadline approaches.What the Pirates want is more offense. Theyve been held to six runs in 44 innings in their last four games, one lasting 18 innings, and were held to five hits in their 3-2, last at-bat win over the Brewers on Tuesday night.Josh Harrison hustled his way to a triple on a balll hit high off the wall in right-center field to start the bottom of the ninth, then scored on the play when second baseman Scooter Gennetts throw skipped past Harrison.ddddddddddddThis offense is just battling, playing through every day, Harrison said after the Pirates second successive win. Hitting is contagious, not hitting is contagious, regardless of what people say. ... Thats the name of the game -- just keep plugging away. Just try to push across as many runs as possible.Locke gave up plenty -- eight earned runs and 11 hits in nine innings in his last two starts -- while going only four innings against the St. Louis Cardinals on July 6 and five innings against the Oakland Athletics on July 1, but the Pirates combined for 14 runs while winning both games.Anderson will start against Pittsburgh for the first time this season after going 0-4 with a 9.61 ERA in his last five starts, walking a career-high five in each of his last two outings. His last one was an 8-1 loss to St. Louis on July 9.And not only is Anderson not winning, the Brewers arent winning consistently when he goes to the mound, either. With opponents batting .266 with 18 home runs against Anderson, the Brewers are 5-12 in his 17 starts.Anderson is 0-1 with a 5.65 ERA in three career starts against the Pirates, who are 3-1 against the Brewers this season -- with 15 games remaining.The Brewers lost in the final inning in each of their last two games, including a 1-0 loss on Sunday in Cincinnati. Reliever Tyler Thornburg (3-4) took the loss in each.Its not fun when get walked off on, but for the most part were playing good baseball, Gennett said. Were in these games, and weve got to keep grinding and eventually well run into some win streaks.The Brewers havent won more than three straight since winning four in a row May 24-27. cheap falcons jerseys cheap ravens jerseys cheap bills jerseys cheap bears jerseys cheap bengals jerseys cheap cowboys jerseys cheap lions jerseys cheap texans jerseys cheap colts jerseys cheap jaguars jerseys cheap chiefs jerseys cheap rams jerseys cheap dolphins jerseys cheap vikings jerseys cheap saints jerseys cheap giants jerseys cheap jets jerseys cheap eagles jerseys cheap steelers jerseys cheap 49ers jerseys ' ' '
