David Price Tampa Bay Rays career
On September 14, 2008, Price made his major league debut with the Tampa Bay Rays against the New York Yankees.
The first MLB hit he allowed was a home run by Derek Jeter of the New York Yankees; in 2011, Jeter hit his 3,000th hit by homering against Price once more.
Price made his major league debut with the Rays on September 22, 2008, against the Baltimore Orioles, pitching 5+1/3 innings of relief.
He won Game 2 of the 2008 ALCS against the Boston Red Sox, becoming the first pitcher to win a postseason game before winning a regular-season game.
Price earned his first career save (regular season or postseason; postseason statistics are recorded separately) and eliminated the reigning champion Red Sox in Game 7 of the 2008 ALCS.
Price subsequently went on to pitch 2+13 innings in Game 2 of the 2008 World Series against the Philadelphia Phillies, giving up two runs but earning his second postseason save.
The next day, at a campaign rally in Tampa, Price introduced Barack Obama.
With a 5–2 victory over the Minnesota Twins on May 30, 2009, Price earned his first major league regular-season win, striking out 11 batters in under 6 innings.
In 23 starts, he finished with a 10–7 record, a 4.42 ERA, 102 strikeouts, and 54 walks.
