BOSTON -- David Ortiz's 2,000th hit for the Red Sox was also a milestone homer -- No. 522 -- in which he passed Hall of Famers Ted Williams, Willie McCovey and Frank Thomas for 19th on the all-time list.
Big Papi laced one down the line in right in the bottom of the fifth -- a solo shot that gave the Red Sox a 3-0 lead over the Angels on Friday.
Playing what is expected to be his final season, Ortiz needs 12 homers to tie Hall of Famer Jimmie Foxx and 14 to equal Mickey Mantle.
