David Price took a lengthy and expensive cab ride to the Oakland Coliseum on Friday.

With the Bay Bridge closed all weekend, the alternate route ran him $202 and took an hour.

Price, who started on Friday night, joked that he planned to rent a helicopter for Saturday's game.

The left-hander allowed three runs over seven innings as the Tampa Bay Rays lost 4-3 to the Oakland Athletics. He struck out five and walked just one while surrendering five hits.
