Rick Porcello had a solid outing, the Red Sox scored ten runs, and--oh yeah--David Ortiz made history Saturday night in a win over the Rays.
While it was homer number 500 we were all waiting for, it was Ortiz' 499th that put the Red Sox ahead early in this one. A three-run shot off Matt Moore in the first would be just the beginning of one very rough outing for Matt Moore of the 8.42 ERA. While Moore bounced back with a two-strikeout second that ended when Rusney Castillo was caught trying to take second base, Mookie Betts and Dustin Pedroia went back-to-back to start the third to make it five runs for Boston, and both contributed again when Pedroia knocked in Betts and Jackie Bradley Jr.
