The long awaited debut for David Price was delayed a bit further on Thursday night thanks to an hour and thirty five minute rain delay. However, that did not stop the hard throwing left hander from making an impressive start. Not one for many words, Price said in the Bud Light pre-game show that he just wanted to throw pitches. He felt comfortable, the shoulder was ready to go and he pitched 5 strong innings, scattering just 3 hits, walking one and striking out 4.
The Devil Rays offensively had several chances to score runs, but they managed only 2 thanks to a two out 2 rbi single off the bat of Joey Callender. Those two runs were all David Price and the Devil Rays needed.
There were plenty of media in attendance to watch the debut of David Price, the overall number one selection in last June's draft. How long with Price sport a Vero Beach jersey? Talks of a move to Montgomery are already being heard.
One thing is for certain with the Tampa Bay Rays. They have done a terrific job in building on young arms within their farm system and grooming them into the big leagues.
Same two teams tomorrow night for game two of the four game series. Vero Beach remains 6 games back of the Cardinals because Palm Beach knocked off the Miracle 4-3 in the battle of two first place teams in the Florida State League. 6:45 Bud Light pre-game show for game two.
