HOUSTON -- Tampa Bays David Price couldnt get his legs to stop shaking in the first inning against the Houston Astros in his return from the disabled list on Tuesday night. The AL CY Young Award winner eventually calmed down and pitched three-hit ball for seven innings in an 8-0 win over the Astros. Afterward, Price, who won 20 games last season, made a bold statement. "Thats probably the best Ive felt on a baseball field maybe in my entire life, honestly," he said. "I felt like thats the most control Ive had of a baseball game in a very long time. I think that was better than I threw the ball really at any point last year." Desmond Jennings homered and tied a career high with four RBIs to help the Rays shut out Houston for the second straight game and win their fourth in a row. Price (2-4) had missed the last 44 games with a left triceps strain in his first-ever stint on the DL. But he showed no signs of rust, allowing a season-low for hits and striking out a 2013-best 10. Eight of his strikeouts were called, which ties his career high. "He did it easily," manager Joe Maddon said. "He wasnt out there labouring. The fastball was there with good life at the end. He finished off every pitch well which means his arm felt great. Just pretty much a complete performance." Maddon had said hed be happy to get six innings out of his ace before the game, but Price was so efficient he got through seven with just 70 pitches. His low pitch count left Maddon in a quandary. "I didnt know what to do, really," he said. "I mean 70 pitches after seven innings. The up and downs matter, but youre trying to stretch the guy out pitch-count wise. Youre really caught in between right there. We felt that after the seven innings that would be enough just physically on him." Three relievers combined to finish the four-hitter, a night after the Rays two-hit the Astros. Tampa Bay hasnt allowed a run for 23 straight innings -- since Detroits Miguel Cabrera launched a homer into the Rays Touch Tank in the fourth inning on Sunday. Jennings, who finished with three hits, had a two-run single in the fourth to make it 3-0 and his two-run homer in the sixth pushed the lead to five runs. Price credited Jennings for helping him settle down after the first inning. Jennings was only joking when he asked him if he was nervous, and was shocked when he said he was shaking. "But you couldnt tell," Jennings said. "It didnt look like it. He lives for it. Hes a competitor and he loves to be out there." Houston starter Erik Bedard (3-4) yielded six hits and four runs with a season-high six walks in 5 1-3 innings. Price had a tough time in his nine starts before the injury, winning just once in that span. On Tuesday he looked crisp from the start, pitching a 1-2-3 inning before J.D. Martinez singled to start the second. But he still faced the minimum through two after Brandon Barnes grounded into a double play. He struck out the first two in the third before a single by Jimmy Paredes, who was soon caught stealing to end the inning. The 27-year-old Price really got rolling after that, retiring 12 of the last 13 batters he faced with five strikeouts. Houstons only hit in that stretch came on a single by Carlos Corporan with one out in the fifth. The Astros have been in an offensive funk lately, and havent scored in 21 consecutive innings. But that run was unearned, leaving them without an earned run in 29 innings. Theyve managed just four earned runs over the last five games. But Houston manager Bo Porter thought Tuesdays struggles were less about his team and more about Price. "I think its called, Mr. Price," Porter said when asked what was wrong with his offence. "Thats why hes a Cy Young winner. And he pitched like it tonight." Tampa Bays Evan Longoria had two singles in his return to the lineup after missing three straight games with plantar fasciitis in his right foot. The All-Star third baseman was Tampa Bays designated hitter against Houston as he continued to struggle with the condition. He was replaced by a pinch-runner after his single in the ninth. Houston had its best chance to score in the eighth with runners at first and second with no outs. But Joel Peralta replaced Jamey Wright, and he sat down the next three Astros to preserve the shutout. Yunel Escobar hit a two-run double in the ninth and James Loneys double sent him home to make it 8-0. Jennings led off with a single before Sean Rodriguez drew a walk. Longoria walked with one out and Tampa Bay took a 1-0 lead on a sacrifice fly by Wil Myers. Bedard limited the damage by striking out Escobar. Loney extended his hitting streak to 13 games with a one-out single in the fourth inning. Jose Molina walked before Loney advanced to third on a groundout. The single by Jennings, which sailed just out of reach of a diving Jose Altuve and into shallow right field, sent two home to extend the lead to 3-0. Molina doubled to start the sixth and Bedard was replaced by Josh Fields with one out. He was greeted by the towering homer by Jennings, which bounced high on the wall in left field, to leave Tampa Bay up 5-0.

The 2016-17 National Basketball League season is over the halfway mark with Sydney Kings the top dogs, their standing atop the ladder the one constant over the past few rounds whilst the remainder of the teams have chopped and changed positions.Beneath the Kings, no team has endured the ups and downs more this season than Adelaide 36ers: after round seven the Sixers were riding a four-game losing streak to boast a 3-6 win-loss record; things since have clicked and the 36ers head into round 11 as the hottest team in the league on the back of a five-game winning streak.Adelaide achieved one of those wins in round eight, at Qudos Bank Arena, on the back of solid performances from Jerome Randle and Daniel Johnson while Cadee was quiet with only five points.The Kings and 36ers will play twice during round 11, each hosting one game at home.The 36ers may replace the Kings in the No. 1 spot if they can pull of the double, whilst the Kings can reaffirm their stance on top and send Adelaide tumbling down the standings.Plenty to play for, then, with big-name players such as dual MVP Kevin Lisch, Jerome Randle and Josh Powell to feature; but Jason Cadee is the biggest taking point ahead of the first encounter in Addelaide.ddddddddddddCadee spent two seasons playing for Adelaide in the 2012-13 and 2013-14 NBL seasons, and he is excited about returning to his old stomping ground.I loved my time in Adelaide, Cadee told ESPN of his time in Adelaide, where he finished on the bottom of the ladder in his opening season before reaching the grand final in his second year.I had a lot of fun and met some great people. I love being able to go back there and see those people again.Im going back as a Sydney King now and looking to get a win; its not an easy place to do it and theyre playing very well at the moment, but Im looking forward to the challenge.Cadee certainly isnt fazed about the potential reaction of the home fans when he returns.If they cheer for me, then great; if they dont, then thats how its supposed to be when youre against them.Cadee says the Kings still have plenty of room for improvement with the teams now turning their attention towards the finals and looking to claim one of the top-four positions.Hopefully we can go about that and put ourselves in a good spot come finals time.
