David Ortiz continued his torrid start, getting two more hits and three RBIs in Boston's third straight win over the AAA+ Astros.
The 8-4 victory moved the Sox to 17-7—the best April record since 2002.
Jacoby Ellsbury got things started with a clutch two-run double that tied the score at two.
Stephen Drew,
Daniel Nava and
Dustin Pedroia also had RBIs.
Felix Doubront had a bizarrely ineffective first inning—even for him. He gave up just two runs, but walked three, hit a batter and uncorked a wild pitch.
John Lackey goes for the sweep today.
