LEADING OFF

- — Associated Press

A look at what’s happening all around the majors today:

PRICE POINT: David Price makes his second start of the season since coming off the disabled list when the Red Sox face the Orioles at Camden Yards. The left-hander has made himself at home in Baltimore, where he’s 6-0 with a 3.14 ERA in 10 career starts. Dylan Bundy (6-3, 2.89) goes for the Orioles.

ONE-TWO PUNCH: Streaking starter Lance McCullers Jr. (6-1, 2.48 ERA) is on the mound as the major league-leading Astros visit the AL West-rival Rangers. McCullers has won four straight decisions and was just selected the American League pitcher of the month for May. Houston also had the AL pitcher of the month for April in ace lefty Dallas Keuchel.

BAD NEWS, GOOD NEWS: The banged-up Mariners will be without Jean Segura for a while after he was placed on the 10-day disabled list Friday with a high ankle sprain. Seattle did get some positive news about slugger Nelson Cruz, who was back in the lineup after getting hit on the top of his left hand by a pitch Thursday. HE’S AVAILABLE: Will any team that needs bullpen help take a chance on ex-Rangers closer Sam Dyson? He was designated for assignment by Texas after his latest rough outing — he gave up two home runs in the 10th inning vs. Tampa Bay this week. The righthande­r is 1-6 with a 10.80 ERA in 17 games and has blown all four of his save chances this year. Dyson had 38 saves last season when the Rangers won their second straight AL West title, and was a key reliever for Team USA when it won the World Baseball Classic in March.
