David Price had a complete game as the Tampa Bay Rays defeated the Oakland A's
6 to 2 at Tropicana Field.
 
Tampa Bay brought 3 runs across the plate in the bottom of the 4th inning when
they had 4 base hits.  Casey Kotchman opened up the inning nicely when he
delivered a one-base hit.  One out later, Matt Joyce got his chance to keep
things going, but he went down on strikes.  B.J. Upton then laced a base-hit.
Trevor Cahill then had one get away for a wild pitch.  Johnny Damon stepped
into the box and smacked a single.  Upton then suprised everyone by stealing
home.  Cahill then threw a high and inside pitch that got by the catcher; it
was ruled a passed ball.  John Jaso then lashed a single.  Tampa Bay banged
out 8 hits on the afternoon.  
 
The victory was credited to Price(2-0) who went the distance, allowing 2 runs.
Cahill(0-2) took the loss.  He allowed a few too many baserunners giving up 8
hits and 3 walks in 5 and 2/3 innings.
