ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- The Boston Red Sox pulled out of an offensive funk to help Jon Lester stay unbeaten. Lester pitched seven solid innings and Stephen Drew hit his second career grand slam during an eight-run third inning that keyed a 9-2 victory over AL Cy Young winner David Price and the Tampa Bay Rays on Wednesday night. "Its bound to turn around," Drew said after the Red Sox won for just the third time in their last 12 games. "We know the past couple games havent been too good with runners in scoring position, so tonight was a great night to have and hopefully we can keep it going." Price (1-4) departed from the marquee pitching matchup because of a left triceps strain during Bostons eight-run third inning, which Drew finished with his towering homer off Jamey Wright. Rays manager Joe Maddon said Price had a MRI and that the injury doesnt appear to be serious. Price said he hasnt ruled out the possibility of making his next scheduled start on Monday, although Maddon said thats unlikely. "Its just something I take pride in, being available every fifth day and being out there for my team," Price said. "I dont know how thats looking right now, but Ill just get re-evaluated (Thursday). The biggest thing is going to be how I feel. Hopefully I can come in and play catch. Thats what I have on my mind right now, so well see." Coming off a one-hit, complete game shutout of Toronto, Lester (6-0) allowed two runs and eight hits to help end the Rays season-high six-game winning streak. The Red Sox, meanwhile, stopped a three-game losing streak thats been part of a May slide. They are 5-9 this month after going a major league-best 18-8 in April. "We havent been scoring a bunch of runs lately and (the 8-run inning) takes a lot of pressure off so I could just go out and execute pitches," Lester said. "We broke out with eight runs in the one inning, and it gave Jon a cushion to pitch," Boston manager John Farrell said. "It goes back to us controlling the strike zone, putting up quality at-bats," Farrell added. "When were right and were clicking offensively, thats when we grind deep into each at-bat, and I thought we did that multiple times tonight. ... We had a good offensive approach." Price left with one out in the third inning after giving up an RBI single to David Ortiz. The left-hander walked toward the plate after delivering the pitch to the Red Sox designated hitter and appeared to grimace. Maddon, pitching coach Jim Hickey, a team trainer and the entire Rays infield joined Price on the mound. Price walked off the field after a brief consultation and was replaced by Wright. "I didnt see exactly when it happened. I saw him motion to come on out to the mound," Maddon said, adding that he wasnt sure if Price was injured on his final pitch to Ortiz or earlier in the inning. "We had him checked out, had the MRI done," the manager said. "Nothing seems to be serious, but well make a better call (Thursday)." A 20-game winner last year, Price has struggled this season. Tampa Bay has lost seven of his nine starts, and Price uncharacteristically has given up eight leads over his last seven outings. The Rays ace has been bothered by allergies since before the start of spring training, but Price said this week hed never use that as an excuse for his performance. He gave up two-out doubles to Dustin Pedroia in the first and Will Middlebrooks in the second without allowing further damage. The Rays werent as fortunate in the third, when Price walked Drew and gave up a single to Jacoby Ellsbury to begin Bostons biggest inning of the season. Pedroias RBI single gave the Red Sox a 1-0 lead. Ortizs opposite-field single that just eluded diving third baseman Evan Longoria made it 2-0. Mike Napoli doubled and Jonny Gomes singled off Wright to drive in the final two runs charged to Price, who allowed four runs and five hits in 2 1-3 innings. Jarrod Saltalamacchia walked with two outs to load the bases for Drew, who lifted a 1-1 pitch into the half-filled right-field stands at Tropicana Field. Pedroia has a seven-game hitting streak, and hes had multiple hits in six of those games. Middlebrooks hit a solo homer off Kyle Farnsworth in the eighth. Desmond Jennings tripled to drive in Tampa Bays first run, then scored when Ben Zobrist grounded out. NOTES: Price has not won at Tropicana Field since July 19, 2012, a stretch covering eight starts. ... Boston RHP Andrew Bailey (right biceps strain) felt fine one day after a bullpen session and will pitch in a simulated game Thursday. A decision on whether he will be activated from the 15-day disabled list or pitch in a minor league game will be made after the outing. ... Red Sox LHP Franklin Morales (lower back strain) is scheduled to make his fourth minor league appearance Saturday with Triple-A Pawtucket. ... Tampa Bays Alex Cobb (4-2) will start Thursday nights series finale, his first outing since striking out 13 in 4 2-3 innings against San Diego to become the first pitcher in major league history to fan that many batters in an appearance lasting fewer than five innings. The Red Sox will counter with LHP Felix Doubront (3-1).

EUGENE, Ore. -- Washington receiver Dante Pettis was succinct in his assessment of quarterback Jake Browning.Ridiculously good, Pettis said after Browning threw for 304 yards and a school-record six touchdowns in a 70-21 rout of Oregon on Saturday night.The victory snapped the No. 5 Huskies 12-game losing streak to the Ducks and left Browning -- who also ran for a pair of scores -- wanting more.Well take a win no matter what but yeah, its kind of cool. Seventy-seven wouldve been cool, too. The more points you can score the better, Browning said.Myles Gaskin ran for 197 yards and a touchdown for the undefeated Huskies, who have won nine straight games going back to last season. Pettis caught eight passes for 134 yards and two touchdowns, while John Ross had nine catches for 94 yards and three scores.Brownings eight touchdowns matched the Pac-12 single-game record. Washingtons 70 points were the most the team had scored since the 1944 season.Everybody is going to talk about the yards and touchdowns, but I was just doing my job, going through my reads, Browning said. I dont think there was anything outside of what I was supposed to do.Freshman Justin Herbert made his first college start and threw for 179 yards and two touchdowns for the Ducks, who continued their dramatic slide with a fourth straight loss. Oregon (2-4, 0-3 Pac-12) hadnt lost four straight since the 2006 season.The 70 points that Oregon allowed were the second-most in school history, one shy of a 71-7 loss at Texas in 1941.Herbert was intercepted on his first pass of the game, and Washington went on to score on the ensuing series on Brownings 1-yard touchdown run.Washington (6-0, 3-0) upped the lead on Brownings 3-yard TD pass to Ross. Rose also scored on a 15-yard pass from Browning as the Huskies built a 28-0 lead. Browning scored on a 7-yard keeper to put Washington ahead 35-7 at the end of the first half.Pettis caught touchdown passes of 10 and 28 yards as the Huskies built a 63-21 lead in the opening minutes of the final quarter.We dont really focus on the past, we try to focus on the present, but theres a lot of people back home who really, really wanted this so it feels good, Pettis said.A local prospect out of Eugenes Sheldon High School, Herbert is the first true freshman to start for the Ducks since Chris Miller in 1983.dddddddddddd Graduate transfer Dakota Prukop started at quarterback in the Ducks first five games.Its like a broken record but we just have to keep getting after it, said Oregon defensive coordinator Brady Hoke. Thats the only way to fix it.POLL IMPLICATIONSThe decisive victory in a hostile setting -- and the end of that 12-game losing streak -- should reassure any doubters of Washingtons place in the top 10, although Oregon is clearly struggling this season. It was the Ducks worst loss (margin-wise) since they fell 63-0 at Nebraska in 1985.TAKEAWAYSOregon: Despite his obvious inexperience and that initial interception, Herbert showed potential. At one point in the first half he followed up a pump fake with a flip pass to tight end Pharaoh Brown. The issue for the Ducks continues to be the defense, which allowed the Huskies 682 yards in total offense.Washington: The Huskies with Browning continue to be an offensive force, completely dominating Oregons re-tooled D under Hoke.KEY INJURY: Oregon was without senior receiver Dwayne Stanford with an undisclosed injury. He was third on the team with 13 catches for 175 yards and a touchdown. In his honor, Brown wore his No. 88 jersey against the Huskies. When Brown was injured in 2014, Stanford wore his No. 85 jersey.Oregon running back Royce Freeman may have been injured during the game. Freeman ran for 50 yards but didnt play in the second half.QUOTABLE: Im just glad I dont have to talk about the streak, or have to answer that. Thats probably the No. 1 thing Ive been asked since the day I got to Seattle. Thats why Im really happy, so I dont have to answer that question, Washington coach Chris Petersen said.UP NEXTWashington: The Huskies return home for a bye next week before hosting Oregon State on Oct. 22Oregon: The Ducks also get a bye next weekend before a Friday night game on Oct. 21 in Berkeley.---AP college football website: collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
