David Ortiz slammed 2 homeruns and had 4 RBI as the Boston Red Sox outscored
the Toronto Blue Jays 7 to 3.
 
Ortiz was really in 'the zone'.  He ripped a base-knock which scored a run in
the 1st inning, lofted a solo-blast 'downtown' in the 4th inning, lashed a
single resulting in a run in the 8th inning and cracked a solo homerun (his
3rd of the season) in the 9th inning.  Boston ended up with 14 hits for the
game while Toronto had 11.  
 
Bronson Arroyo(1-0) got credit for the victory, pitching 7 and 1/3 innings and
allowing 2 runs. The losing pitcher was Dave Bush(0-1).  Ortiz was in a good
mood after the game, 'I'm just seeing and hitting the ball real well now.  I
made some adjustments last week and they are paying off.  That's what this
game is about. making adjustments as the season goes along.'
