Red Sox left-hander David Price left Tuesday night's game in Texas in the seventh inning with an apparent injury to his pitching hand.

But after the game, manager John Farrell said Price was not injured but was taken out because of a high pitch count and a long inning in the sixth. Farrell was accompanied by the team trainer, however, when he came out to the mound and removed Price from the game.

Price went six shutout innings, allowing six hits and two walks while striking out nine. He was removed after walking the leadoff batter in the seventh. Price finished with 106 pitches and left with Boston holding a 9-0 lead. The Red Sox won 11-4.

Price has dealt with issues on his pitching hand this season, including a split fingernail and a blister.
