SEATTLE - David Price was nearly untouchable, giving up just a run, and he still walked off the field in the eighth inning in line for the loss. Then came the ninth inning, and everything changed for the Tampa Bay Rays. David DeJesus homered and Matt Joyce hit a go-ahead RBI single as the Rays rallied in the ninth inning against Seattle closer Fernando Rodney to beat the Mariners 2-1 on Tuesday night. "We needed a win, period," Price said. "Whether it was a blowout or a game like that." Tampa Bay had been reeling, coming in having lost five of six. Price (4-3) was also trying to turn things around, having lost his last two decisions. Before the game he watched highlights from his 2012 Cy Young-winning season and he changed up his uniform for the game, going with high socks for the first time since he played for Triple-A Durham in 2009. "Figured I needed to switch it up a little bit, and I guess it worked," Price said. Price kept the Mariners off balance most of the night, allowing one run and six hits in his second complete game this season. Eight of his 12 strikeouts came on called third strikes. "David dominated it. Really, we dont win it without him pitching tonight," Tampa Bay manager Joe Maddon said. "His focus was outstanding. The way he handled every moment — when there was a little trouble, he didnt lose his tempo or his rhythm. "He just stayed there and made pitches when he needed to." As good as Price was on the mound, Mariners starter Hisashi Iwakuma had been better, throwing eight scoreless innings. But Rodney didnt hold up his end of the pitchers duel. Rodney (1-2) had a 2-2 count on DeJesus when the designated hitter sent a fly ball down the right-field line, and all right fielder Stefen Romero could do was watch as the ball cleared the wall with a couple of rows to spare. "I looked at the outfielder, he got to the wall, and I was like, Oh gosh, Ive got a shot," DeJesus said. With two outs, James Loney golfed a single up the middle and was replaced by pinch-runner Sean Rodriguez. Desmond Jennings hard grounder to short hopped past Brad Miller, and then Joyces fly to right-centre dropped in front of a diving James Jones to score Rodriguez. "Its been a tough start for us, and hopefully this is something that will get us going," Joyce said. "This is definitely something we needed." The Mariners took a 1-0 lead in the first inning when Jones led off with a double down the left-field line and later scored on Robinson Canos groundout to first. Iwakuma, making his third start after opening the season on the disabled list with a finger injury, gave up a double to DeJesus in the first, then retired 13 in a row before the Rays picked up a pair of singles in the fifth. Tampa Bays only other hit off Iwakuma was Joyces single to lead off the eighth, but Iwakuma finished off that inning — and his night — with a called strikeout of Wil Myers with the runner stranded on first. It was the second straight eight-inning shutout outing for Iwakuma, who has now thrown 24 straight scoreless innings at home dating to last season. He didnt get the chance to try for his first career complete game, though, as Rodney came on and ended up with his second blown save. "Kuma was out of gas," Seattle manager Lloyd McClendon said. "Ive got one of the best closers in the game. This guys going to save a lot of games for us, it just didnt go his way tonight." NOTES: Before the game, Maddon said he was encouraging his players to use old-school cologne for the game in an effort to shake the team out of its slump. "Aroma matters," he said. Maddon added that he hoped the smells would conjure up warm memories of the players fathers. "Im hoping for this really awful odour in the dugout with all these scents tonight. That would be outstanding." ... Maddon also used the more traditional method of mixing up the lineup. Myers (leadoff), DeJesus (No. 2) and 2B Ben Zobrist (No. 4) were in those spots for the first time this season. ... Rodney has allowed a baserunner in 10 of his 13 save opportunities.

Chris Copeland tallied 17 points and Donald Sloan added 15 in the setback. Boston, which snapped a three-game losing streak, won the game but lost rookie point guard Marcus Smart to an ankle injury. Smart drove the lane early in the fourth and was fouled by A.J. Price as the two got tangled up. Smart rolled his ankle on Lavoy Allens shoe before getting fouled, and immediately grabbed at his lower left leg in pain. After more than five minutes with Bostons medical team on the court, Smart was stabilized on a stretcher and wheeled into the locker room. The sixth overall pick finished with three points on 1-of-6 shooting in 15 1/2 minutes of action. According to initial reports, X-rays were negative, but Smart will still undergo an MRI.

Presseys 3-pointer capped a 9-2 run for an 82-77 Celtics lead just over two minutes into the fourth.

Our guys were battling the whole night, Pacers coach Frank Vogel said. It was a back-and-forth game. Sloans driving layup was off the mark on the Pacers next possession, and Green nailed a pair of free throws after a huge offensive rebound with 6.1 seconds left. Sloan and Bradley traded two free throws to keep it a three-point game. Out of a timeout, Stevens had a zone defense set up and Gerald Wallace picked off the inbounds pass as Boston held on. I thought we were great defensively at the end, Stevens said. Olynyk made back-to-back 3-pointers from the top of the arc before Green converted a hook shot for a 21-14 edge at the midway point of the first. The Celtics led by 13 after a 9-2 run late in the second quarter, but they didnt score over the final 2:50 and Indiana closed the half on a 10-0 run, trailing 55-52 at half. Indiana then took the lead out of the break, scoring the first seven points of the third for a 59-55 after Solomon Hills ferocious driving dunk. The Pacers led 75-73 entering the fourth.
