Pitched three innings so far. One run allowed, Boston up 2-1.

They are in the fourth inning. Kershaw pitching for LA.

Price up again in the 4th. Three outs later they are into the 5th inning. That’s a lot of pitching after an inning Friday and 6 innings on Wednesday.

Two starts, one relief and up in the bullpen at least one other game. Win tonight and he's MVP. I hope he does it.

I hope so too because clearly Buehler was one of the stars Friday and that makes two clutch, great stars from VU dominating the World Series. Maybe the planets won’t align this way again but it’s so cool!

Gosh, now Price just batted! The tv said a lot of pitchers are getting worn out (probably from that 18 inning game).

Kershaw still pitching. Martinez scores a HR.

Price batting with 2 out.

Agreed. And he's well on his way, up 4-1 in the the 7th. An ouutstanding way to get that postseason monkey off his back.

Bottom of the seventh inning.
Price pitching again. With bullpen activity. Deserves an ovation. Working on his 78th pitch. Described as having very good control tonight. Good time for that.

Price leaves the mound with three outs and no more runs!

Another Boston run - by Pearce. 5-1 Boston top of the 8th.

Omg - Price is still pitching — now into the 8th. 84 pitches. They said the last three performances as a starter have possibly rewritten the “narrative” of his postseason issues. They said with him in control like this, you can see the story before your eyes of how good it is.

Now a lead off walk breaking his string of 14 retired. Manager coming up and he’s coming off the mound.

His performance tonight described by tv as “brilliant.”

Think about this: assuming Boston holds on for the win, then three of the five wins will have been started by VU grads. Buehler's start was the one game the Dodgers won, and while he didn't get the win, he pitched seven scoreless and left with a lead the bullpen blew. Price gets half the Sox wins, so that pretty much makes him the man.

Update: Boston wins it in the 9th with Sales on the mound. Price gets the win.

Should have been MVP. Pearce came up big, but Price had a greater impact.

Did you notice the fans at the Boston bar chanting "David Price, David Price, David Price" Quite a change for earlier in the year. He most definitely should have been MVP.

Price wins 2 games and contributes in a third...how does he not win MVP?

ELIAS: If the Red Sox win, David Price will have clinched two consecutive series against Cy Young winners – Justin Verlander and Clayton Kershaw – in the same postseason. That's never been done before.

Disappointed they didn't give the MVP to Price, but Pearce had the huge hits that swung both games 4 & 5. I do wonder if Pearce may have stolen the MVP with the last homer to pad his stats after Price did the hard work and the Sox already had the game in hand.

Price is my MVP as he had much more of an impact than Pearce!

Dee good find - tells us what we thought we knew about David and certainly what we know about Corbin and Vanderbilt. Terrific read.

It was accurately noted that Price has a "less than friendly" relationship with the media. I'm sure that had an impact, too.
