David Price is in the midst of the worst stretch of his career, but Dustin Pedroia may have found the solution. Pedroia says he was watching videotape of Price from three years ago and noticed a flaw in his current delivery. That's all well and good, but it's a bit concerning that Price, or the supposed pitching guru John Farrell, didn't spot this issue. Though Price's peripheral numbers remain strong –– he leads the league in strikeouts –– his lack of velocity is concerning. It's still too early to panic, but it's time to be worried. Thankfully for the Red Sox, Steven Wright has stepped up and temporarily taken Price's spot at the top of the rotation. The knuckleballer now has a dazzling 1.52 ERA on the season in six starts. David Ortiz also continues to mash, belting two home runs Sunday night to move up to second on the Red Sox's all-time list. He's hitting for more power at 40 years old than any other baseball player in history.
