In an unexpected victory for the Rays, David Price went seven-plus innings to accumulate his 12th win, as the Tampa Bay Rays beat Boston 6-4 on Wednesday.

Price (12-4) made a super human effort, as he became the first American League pitcher to reach 12 wins. In his 7 2/3-inning effort, he took out 10 batters allowing just two runs on eight hits while walking only one.

The Sox put up a spirited fight as they gave themselves a chance for a dramatic ending. Daniel Nava opened the ninth with a triple to left-center and Mike Cameron brought him home. Darnell McDonald put together an epic 11 pitch-at-bat, smacking a double to left-center to score. Boston kept chipping away at Tampa Bay’s lead, but it was just not enough.

Elsewhere, Lance Berkman homered to give Houston the lead, as the Astros powered their way past Pittsburgh 6-3. Mark Teixeira hit a three-run homer to back a strong start by A.J. Burnett, as the New York Yankees hammered Oakland, 6-2.

At LinesMaker, the Boston Red Sox have odds of 7/1 along with the Atlanta Braves. While the Tampa Bay Rays are at 9/1, sharing the odds with the St Louis Cardinals and the Texas Rangers. The Yankees are still the hot favorite of the bettors with odds of 5/2.
