David Ortiz, even in a slump, will always be clutch.
With two out and the bases loaded and the Red Sox down 1-0 Ortiz launched a grand slam over the Green Monster to give Boston a 4-1 lead and more importantly get the monkey off his back.
Dustin Pedroia also got in on the long distance act hitting a two-run homerun in the fourth inning as Boston would go onto to win 11-3.
Star of the Game: Daisuke Matsuzaka
Did not need much from Dice-K this evening, but he still picks up the award earning his fourth win of the season. 5 1/3 innings of work, only three runs allowed, two walks, and four strikeouts were enough for Matsuzaka to earn the win.
Preview of the Next Game: Keep it going
Just keep this nice streak going guys. And I do not know about you but it seems like that Japan jetlag has gone far far away. Also, Jed Lowrie keep it going as well. Another nice performance tonight by the rookie and he certainly is making his presence known offensively and defensively so far for Boston.
