The Red Sox keep rolling, David Price looks sharp and another Summer of Gronk seems to have begun.

How Reche Caldwell Googled his way from the Patriots to prison: His head stays bowed like that for a long time, until he’s asked to explain exactly how he went from the Patriots to prison, how he transitioned from being the best receiver in New England to the worst drug kingpin in Tampa. Finally, Caldwell lifts his head and a wry smile unfurls across his face. That’s easy, he roars. [ESPN.com]

David Price racks up 12 K’s as Red Sox roll over Astros 11-1: “I allowed myself to get into my power position,” Price said. “It’s something I’ve worked on for the last four days leading up to this start. It was a big key for me and it helped out a lot.” [Boston.com]
