ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - David Price is thankful to have another shot at Texas in the playoffs.

A postseason disappointment a year ago when he lost twice in the opening round to the only AL opponent he's never beaten, the young Tampa Bay pitcher will get a chance to redeem himself Monday when he goes against right-hander Colby Lewis in Game 3 of the AL division series between the Rays and Rangers.

The teams are tied 1-1 after splitting two games in Texas. The Rays say they're comfortable putting the ball in Price's hand, even though the hard-throwing lefty hasn't won in more than a month and was 0-2 with a 4.97 ERA in a pair of losses at home to Cliff Lee in the 2010 ALDS.
