Welcome to The Walk Off, the nightly MLB recap from Big League Stew. Here we’ll look at the top performers of the night, show you a must-see highlight and rundown the scoreboard. First, we start with a game you need to know about.
We knew David Ortiz wouldn’t go away quietly in his final season. What he’s done so far and continues to do though has been nothing short of extraordinary.
With each passing week, it seems “BIg Papi” reaches another milestone or breaks another record. That continued in Friday’s 2-1 win against the Tampa Bay Rays, as Ortiz’s two-run first-inning home run helped him break a record previously held by Shoeless Joe Jackson.
