Lee, mixing fastballs in the 90s with his customary pinpoint accuracy, allowed five hits and struck out 10 in seven innings. He gave up a one-out solo home run to Ben Zobrist in the seventh inning, and watched three relievers get the final six outs.
The anticipated matchup at Tropicana Field between Lee and Tampa Bay’s David Price, a pair of strong-armed lefthanders, never fully developed. The Rangers picked at Price early and often, scoring in every inning from the second through the fifth.
Price, a 25-year-old who was 19-6 with a 2.72 earned run average and started the All-Star Game in July, allowed more than three earned runs at home for the first time this year. tampa bay rays
