David Ortiz is a blessing for the Red Sox. This guy had came through with so many clutch hits late in games this season (as well as last 2 years). Last night against the Phils he got the big 2-out hit in the 12th to lead the Red Sox to victory, 8-7. He went 2-for-4 in the game with his presence having a bigger impact than his performance.
With Ortiz on board Boston is 45-28 while trying to take a commanding lead over the Yankees in the East. Saturday Ortiz also won the game for the Sox by hitting a walk-off homer against Philly. He is the second player this season to have consecutive game-ending hits (the other is Nomar Garciaparra May 5-6). So far, David Ortiz has racked up 22 homeruns, 74 hits, 50 runs, and 68 RBIs. What an impressive totals nearing the first half of the season. Big Papi is the "man" and will help lead the Red Sox to another playoff birth and possibly league championship.
