 BOSTON (AP) - It's been a while since David Ortiz has gotten the best of Fenway Park. The Red Sox slugger hadn't homered at home since April 21 — a span of 129 at-bats over 34 games. He ended that slump on Saturday night, and Eric Hinske and Jason Varitek also homered for Boston to help Daisuke Matsuzaka overcome a rough outing and beat the Toronto Blue Jays 9-4.
"It's not going to be another 129 at-bats," Ortiz said. "It could be worse. Everybody's worried about me hitting homers. But people who may see that may be like, 'He may not be hitting homers but the guy is hitting .320 year-round. One thing covered the other."
In other AL games Saturday, it was: Twins 4, Athletics 3; Royals 6, Indians 5; Yankees 6, Devil Rays 4; Orioles 7, White Sox 6 in 10 innings; Angels 9, Rangers 5; and Mariners 6, Tigers 4.
