SEATTLE -- David Price took another step closer to the Major Leagues on Saturday when he was promoted from Double-A Montgomery to Triple-A Durham.
The Rays' top prospect will travel Sunday in advance of making his first start for Durham against Norfolk on Wednesday.
Price went 7-0 with a 1.89 ERA in nine starts at Montgomery. The left-hander pitched 57 innings for the Biscuits and walked just 16 while striking out 55.
Prior to joining Montgomery, Price went 4-0 with a 1.82 ERA in six starts at Class A Vero Beach.
Price, 22, was chosen by the Rays first overall in the 2007 First-Year Player Draft out of Vanderbilt University.
