DETROIT - David Price allowed a homer to start the bottom of the ninth inning — and that was only the beginning of his problems as he tried to close out a win. Justin Verlander Jersey . Rain began falling steadily at Comerica Park, a streak of lightning flashed in the sky behind centre field and loud thunder claps accompanied the Tampa Bay All-Stars pursuit of a complete game. "It was crazy. I wasnt really looking up," manager Joe Maddon said. "Just trying to get David through it." Eventually, Maddon gave in, removing Price with two on and two out. The Rays held on for a 7-3 victory over the Detroit Tigers on Sunday night to climb out of last place in the AL East. The Rays have won three straight and eight of nine to move a half-game ahead of defending champion Boston in the standings. Tampa Bay had sole possession of the cellar for 39 consecutive days. Price (8-7) received his fourth All-Star selection before the game, and he allowed three runs and seven hits before being pulled amid a brief spell of bad weather in the ninth. Jake McGee came on and got the final out for his fifth save in six chances. Rick Porcello (11-5) allowed seven runs and 11 hits in 5 2-3 innings. Matt Joyce and Desmond Jennings homered for Tampa Bay, and Torii Hunter and J.D. Martinez went deep for Detroit. The Rays had 19 hits, including four each by Ben Zobrist and Sean Rodriguez. Price struck out six and walked three, throwing 107 pitches. Martinez led off the Detroit ninth with a homer, and Price was able to get only two more outs. Price said he was somewhat fortunate to make it that far. "I guess I got 26 outs, and I would say at least 15 of them were hit right on the screws. I was asking for some at em balls yesterday and I got them," he said. "I dont know if Ive ever seen that many hard-hit balls turned into outs off a starter." The AL Central-leading Tigers put three players on the All-Star team — Miguel Cabrera, Victor Martinez and Max Scherzer. Porcello is a candidate in online voting for the final American League spot. "Very happy for my teammates that have made the team, and obviously honoured to be included in the final vote," Porcello said. "A lot of good pitchers out there." Porcello was coming off back-to-back shutouts, but his 25-inning scoreless streak ended before he could retire a batter. Jennings led off with a double and scored on Zobrists single. Then Joyces drive was ruled a home run after a review — it hit the railing just above the wall in right field — to give the Rays a 3-0 lead in the first. Price went at least eight innings for the fifth time in his last six starts. It was his 15th straight outing of at least 100 pitches. Price could be a prime trade target for contenders over the next few weeks, although Tampa Bays recent run means the Rays arent totally out of post-season contention. Tampa Bay is 8 1/2 games behind first-place Baltimore in the AL East, and the Rays trail Seattle by the same margin for the second wild card. The Tigers, meanwhile, still lead their division by four games after losing three of four to Tampa Bay. With Price on the mound, the Rays were in good shape after scoring three runs in the first. In the fifth, Evan Longoria added an RBI single to make it 4-1. Tampa Bay scored three more in the sixth. With men on first and third and one out, Kevin Kiermaier hit a grounder to second that was nearly a double play, but he beat the relay to first for an RBI fielders choice. That made it 5-1 and kept the inning going. Jennings followed with a homer to left-centre. Jennings also made sliding catches in centre field in the sixth and seventh. Hunter led off the seventh with a solo shot, his 11th homer of the year. Detroit might have scored another run that inning on Austin Jacksons line drive to the corner in left. But Eugenio Suarez, trying to score from first, lost his footing on the grass outside the baseline and fell about halfway between third and home, giving the Rays an easy out at the plate.

Following a 6-2 win over Colorado on Friday, they settled for a point in the standings by giving up the winner 53 seconds into overtime of a 4-3 loss to league-leading Anaheim. Before Winnipeg gets a chance to avenge that defeat at home Saturday, it first visits Dallas (10-12-5) and the Avalanche - the bottom two teams in the Central. The Jets are 8-4-3 on the road after earning six points in the last four away games. These are teams we need to get points from, said center Bryan Little, who leads the club with 11 goals. Weve been pretty good this year at playing well on the road when we have to, and getting points on the road. Were hoping to continue that this week. That likely means finding a way to limit Seguin, who leads the league with 21 goals while tying Pittsburghs Sidney Crosby for the most points (35). The center has nine goals and four assists in nine games, but the Stars are just 4-4-1 in that stretch. Theyre a team that has a lot of dangerous playyers, Little said. Kirk Gibson Tigers Jersey.

Seguin had two goals and an assist in Saturdays 4-1 win over Montreal, helping Dallas - a playoff team last season - snap a four-game skid. I liked pretty well everything, coach Lindy Ruff said. Thats the way we need to play - a lot of smart decisions, real good puck management. You can win a lot of games playing like that. It starts by your best players doing the right thing. Jamie Benn is among them with 12 points in nine games after assisting on both of Seguins goals against the Canadiens. The left wings 17 assists lead the Stars, while his 25 points are second. He has 11 points in eight career matchups with Winnipeg, setting up two goals - one by Seguin - in a 2-1 home victory March 24. Little scored for the Jets in that meeting after coming up empty in the prior eight. Andrew Ladd has gone without a point in four straight games against the Stars, but has two goals and three assists in the last two overall after getting one of each on the power play Sunday. Winnipeg will be without Evander Kane for two games after he was suspended by the NHL for boarding Anaheims Clayton Stoner on Sunday.
