ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — David Price pitched three-hit ball over seven innings for his AL-leading 16th victory and the Tampa Bay Rays got home runs from Evan Longoria, B.J. Upton and Ben Zobrist in a 7-0 victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Thursday night.

Burke Badenhop and Wade Davis each worked one inning in the Rays’ third straight shutout against the Angels. The Halos have gone 32 consecutive innings without scoring against a staff that leads the AL in ERA, opponents’ batting average and strikeouts.

Price (16-4) struck out eight, walked two and lowered his ERA to 2.39, third in the AL behind the Angels’ Jered Weaver and Detroit’s Justin Verlander. The left-hander allowed only two runners to third base in this one, striking out Chris Iannetta to end the fifth inning and fanning Vernon Wells to escape the seventh.
