 BOSTON (AP) - David Ortiz tried something different, but had a familiar ending. Ortiz capped a 4-for-5 day with a single the other way through a shifted infield with two outs in the 11th inning, giving the Boston Red Sox a 7-6 comeback win over the Los Angeles Angels on Saturday.
Ortiz drove in four runs, helping the Red Sox rally to spoil Angels rookie Jered Weaver's attempt to become the first pitcher in 25 years to win his first eight major league starts.
Ortiz hit his major league-leading 35th homer and had a pair of RBI singles to raise his major league-leading RBI total to 99. The Red Sox, who moved 1 1/2 games ahead of the Yankees atop the AL East, have been in sole possession of first place since June 18.
