My Comment: And the Red Sox drama continues! First pinch-hit homerun by Ortiz since Sunday 27 April 2003. And David is leading the team in homeruns - how great is that! The Boston Red Sox are demonstrating that they know how to win not only in blowouts, but in close games as well. Keep those hits and runs coming!
