Wholesale . PETERSBURG, Fla. -- If it was David Prices last start
for the Tampa Bay Rays, it will go down as one of his best. Price struck out 11,
becoming the first pitcher in 10 years to fan at least 10 in five straight
starts, and the Rays beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 5-1 on Wednesday. "Ive never
been as good as I am right now, period. Not in 2012 (when he won the Cy Young
Award), not in college, not in high school," declared Price, who is rumoured to
be on the trading block from the last-place Rays. "This is the best pitcher Ive
ever been. I feel in complete control on the mound at all times, "Im throwing
all my pitches on both sides of the plate, and thats tough to do." Price (6-7)
gave up five hits and one walk in 8 1-3 innings, leaving the game after
Andrew McCutchens home run in the ninth. "(Finishing the game) is something I
wanted to do for sure," Price said, "but I understand Joe (Maddon) coming out
there after McCutchen hit the home run. The last batter at Vanderbilt was a home
run, my last batter last year was a home run, and now you guys think Im out of
here and my last hitter for the Rays was a home run again." The last pitcher
with five straight starts with 10 strikeouts was Minnesotas Johan Santana from
June 20-July 11, 2004. Price also set a franchise record for strikeouts in a
month with 54. He went 2-3 in five June starts. "Im sure its been said before:
Price was right today," Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said. "His 107th pitch was
97 (mph), so he was on his game today. Hes been one of the best for a while."
Ben Zobrists RBI triple highlighted the Rays three-run first inning off
Charlie Morton. Desmond Jennings and James Loney had singles, and
Kevin Kiermaier drove in a run with a sacrifice fly. Morton (4-9) struck out a
career-high 11 in seven innings, giving up four hits. Price was backed by
defensive plays that included Evan Longoria landing in the first row of the
stands after making a running catch of a popup, and centre fielder Jennings
running down Neil Walkers 400-foot line drive at the wall with two men on base.
"The way David pitched today, youve got to try to make all the plays for him,"
Jennings said. "If he pitches like that, which he normally does, you just want
to go out and do your job." McCutchens homer was his 12th of the season and
eighth this month. The Pirates failed for the seventh time this season to finish
off a series sweep of at least three games. NOTES: RHP Gerrit Cole, out since
June 4 with right shoulder fatigue, will return to the Pirates rotation on
Saturday against the New York Mets. ... Pittsburgh OF Sterling Marte, who left
Tuesday nights game after being injured on a stolen base attempt, passed a
concussion test but was kept out of the lineup. ... Rays SS Yunel Escobar was
held out due to a sore shoulder, but he is expected to play Friday at Baltimore.
... The Rays will add RHP Alex Colome to the roster on Friday to start Game 1 of
a day-night doubleheader, the beginning of an 11-game trip.

and an easy lay-in for the Mavericks, Dwane Casey called a timeout less than two
minutes into the second quarter. At the time Dallas held a 15-point advantage,
they would lead by as many as 19 early in the frame. So what was said in that
timeout? "This is a PG-rated show, so I cant really say it," Casey joked after
the game. Whatever it was, it worked. Casey challenged their pride. So too did
the Mavericks, who had knocked them down, both literally and figuratively. As
three Raptor players went to the ground, scrambling for the rebound as time
expired in overtime - following a missed floater from Monta Ellis - it became
clear, they had taken the challenge personally, and prevailed. "We were
sleepwalking, kind of emotionally [hung over] from our close loss the other
night I thought, maybe feeling sorry for ourselves," Casey said after his teams
109-108 victory, two days following a heartbreaking OT defeat to Charlotte at
home. "I had to get their attention." "Guys responded. They came out swinging.
We were down 19, they hit us with a haymaker and Im proud of the way our guys
fought back. Thats what the NBA is all about." The Raptors gave the home team a
16-minute head start before closing out the first half on a 27-11 run. Once they
showed up, tightened some screws on defence and matched Dallas physicality, they
showed a lot of character. "We just held ourselves accountable," said
Amir Johnson, who blanketed Dirk Nowitzki on the final play of regulation and
contested Ellis runner as time expired in OT. "We took it as a team, like look,
were not going to win this game if we dont get defensive stops." Looking at the
box score it seems strange to say the Raptors won this game on the defensive
end. The Mavs shot 51 per cent from the floor, 10-of-21 from three-point range,
outscored Toronto 60-40 in the paint and recorded 31 assists on 26 field goals.
But the Raptors defence was timely. They got big stops when they needed them the
most, working hard for each one. It was a gritty effort on an unforgiving stage
-- the Mavs had the second best home record in the West at 11-2. It was also
another page in the book of DeMar DeRozans continued evolution into star-player
status. Evident early on, DeRozan was going to have a tough time getting his
shot to fall against this Mavericks defeence.

Rudy Gay around to attract attention, opponents have been zeroing in on the
Raptors guard and the Mavs - using elite, veteran defender Shawn Marion, among
others - were no different. Instead, DeRozan embraced the attention, matching a
career-high with nine assists. Most importantly, he came through when it
mattered most. DeRozan was 3-for-14 before hitting the game-tying jumper at the
end of regulation and going 2-of-3 in OT. "I understand a lot of teams, mostly
all the teams, are going to key into me so I used that to my advantage and just
tried to get my teammates going," said DeRozan, who finished with 15 points.
"They help me get easy baskets once they knock down shots and put me in the best
situation at the end of games to get a bucket when we need one." Kyle Lowry led
the team with 20 points, also adding six assists while Jonas Valanciunas bounced
back from a tough outing in the loss to Charlotte with a double-double of 18
points and 13 rebounds. Defensively, the heroes were Johnson and newcomer John
Salmons, who were assigned to the red-hot Nowitzki and Ellis down the stretch.
With Johnson draped all over him, Nowitzki missed a 13-foot step back jumper - a
shot he might as well have patented - at the end of the fourth quarter. When
Ellis caught the ball with 10 seconds remaining in OT, the plan for Caseys club
was to commit the foul they still had left to give. As the Mavs guard put the
ball on the floor, Johnson - who switched onto Ellis - opted to play it out. "I
just took it in my own hands to just try to play him straight up, man-to-man,"
Johnson said. "It was a great decision I guess because he missed the shot." Jose
Calderon led the Mavs in scoring with 23 points, adding nine assists with just
one turnover against his former team. Calderon shot 7-for-10 from three-point
range, where hes shooting a career-high 47 per cent this season, his first in
Dallas. The 32-year-old point guard greeted his old teammates and coaches with
hugs following the Mavs shoot around Friday morning but was all business once
the ball was tossed up. "Thats just Jose, man," said DeRozan, who played with
Calderon for four-plus seasons in Toronto. "It seems like every time the ball
leaves his hand its going in. Hes, in my opinion, one of the best shooters in
the league, without a doubt. So its not surprising to me."
