Ortiz has 3 hits in Memphis Win
The Memphis Red Sox beat the Cleveland Spiders, 9-8, in part because of first baseman David Ortiz. He was 3 for 5 with a home run and a double, while scoring 2 times and driving in 5. Jon Lester claimed the win after being brought in from the bullpen. The left-hander allowed 1 run on 1 hit in 2 innings. His record stands at 7-9. The Red Sox, at 70-87, sit in last place in the American League Bill James Division.

In the top of the seventh, the Red Sox grabbed the lead when Ortiz hit his 34th home run of the season. The 3-run home run off Chuck Porter made it 8-7, Memphis.

"I was just going up there trying to see good pitches, that was about it," said Ortiz.
