David Price ended his winless string of postseason starts on Thursday, dealing six scoreless innings to help vault the Red Sox into the World Series.

Price, who had started 11 playoff games dating back to 2011 without earning a victory, struck out a postseason career-high nine batters while walking none and limiting the Houston Astros to three hits.

Price finished his outing by retiring seven straight batters, and the Red Sox's bullpen finished out a 4-1 win, allowing Boston to close out the American League Championship Series four games to one and advance to the Fall Classic for the first time since 2013.
