Price, who carried a shutout into the ninth in his last start, allowed five hits, struck out seven and didn't walk a batter. He was struck on the right wrist by Shelley Duncan's line drive in the sixth.
Cleveland starter Carlos Carrasco (1-2) allowed four runs in five innings in his first start since April 24. He was on the disabled list with a sore right elbow.
Fuld's double in the second gave Tampa Bay a 1-0 lead. He also had an RBI single in the fourth when the Rays scored three times. Tampa Bay added three runs in the seventh and Joyce homered in the ninth.
