Rays 3, White Sox 1: David Price pitched his fifth career complete game and Luke Scott had a pair of hits as Tampa Bay completed a three-game sweep of visiting Chicago.

Price (3-4) allowed eight hits – seven of them singles – did not walk a batter and struck out five over 98 pitches to beat the White Sox for the second time in 2013. Sean Rodriguez, Ben Zobrist and Jose Molina each knocked in a run for the Rays, who have won four straight and eight of their last nine.

Josh Phegley belted his first career homer in his second major-league game for Chicago’s only run. White Sox starter John Danks (2-6) gave up three runs and five hits over seven innings to suffer the defeat.

Desmond Jennings led off the first with a double to center and scored on Zobrist’s one-out sacrifice fly to give the Rays a 1-0 lead. Danks allowed only one hit the next 3 2/3 innings before Yunel Escobar singled and later scored on a broken-bat base hit by Rodriguez to left in the fifth.

Price stranded five runners in the first four innings and pitched a 1-2-3 fifth before Phegley’s blast into the left-field seats with two outs in the sixth. Scott led off the seventh with a triple off the right-field wall and came home on Molina’s sacrifice fly to push the lead to 3-1.

GAME NOTEBOOK: The Rays have gone eight games without committing an error. … Chicago 2B Gordon Beckham had two hits in four at-bats, improving to 11-for-22 over the last six contests. … Tampa Bay 1B James Loney went 0-for-3, ending a 16-game hitting streak.
