How much will David Ortiz add to the legend in his final season?
Based on the early returns, as much as he can.
The Boston Red Sox's longtime designated hitter went into Saturday's tilt with the Houston Astros at Fenway Park already having a terrific season, and it only got better in a 6-5 win. In fact, it says a lot that Ortiz's solo home run in the third inning was the least consequential of his three hits.
The second of Big Papi's three hits was a two-out RBI triple in the ninth inning that knotted the score at 5-5.
