Manager Alex Cora pulled Price from the game in the bottom of the fourth inning after he issued a bases-loaded walk to Rangers second baseman Isiah Kiner-Falefa to make it 6-3 Rangers. Replacement Hector Velazquez only made things worse, throwing a wild pitch to score another run then allowing a three-run home run to Nomar Mazara.
Mookie Betts hit his league-leading 12th home run in the losing effort.
