David Ortiz finished 4-for-4 with a two-run homer as the Red Sox beat the Orioles on Sunday. One day after Papi was ejected and destroyed Boston's bullpen phone during a classic outburst over balls and strikes, he took out his rage on an assortment of Oriole arms. Ortiz, second in the American League with a .329 batting average, is on pace for 31 homers and 102 RBI.

David Ortiz went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer and a sac fly as the Red Sox beat the Mariners 11-4 on Wednesday. This ain't your father's Safeco: it was the third straight game of the series in which the winner has scored 11 runs (Seattle on Monday, Boston the last two days). Ortiz's double in the first tonight moved him past Harold Baines for first place all-time on the hits list for DHs at 1,689. He followed that up with a homer in the third. He's batting .438 with three homers in 32 at-bats this month.

David Ortiz went 4-for-5 with a homer, two doubles and a stolen base in the Red Sox's 11-8 victory over the Mariners on Tuesday. After the barrage, it was an eighth-inning single that moved Ortiz into a tie with Harold Baines for the all-time lead in hits for a DH at 1,688. Ortiz then got a walking lead and stole second base, giving him a career high-tying three steals in three attempts this year. The four-hit game was his first since April 21, 2012.

David Ortiz went 3-for-5 in Sunday's loss to the Tigers. Big Papi has five multi-hit games in his last seven. The 37-year-old designated hitter, as usual, has produced big for fantasy owners in the Triple Crown categories, ranking seventh in the AL in average (.316), eighth in home runs (16) and fifth in RBI (55).

David Ortiz said Wednesday that he will not participate in the Home Run Derby this year at Citi Field. Probably a smart call for the 37-year-old designated hitter. "I'm done with that," Ortiz told WEEI. "I can't do it no more. I can't even do it in batting practice. Watch me in batting practice, I might lose a couple of balls but that's it. I can't do it. It wears me out."

David Ortiz continued to mash the baseball on Saturday, going 2-for-5 with a homer and three RBI in Saturday's 7-2 victory over the Angels. Ortiz lined an opposite field double in the third inning to drive home his first run, then took Jerome Williams out of the park to right for a two-run blast in the sixth. He's showing absolutely no ill effects from the Achilles injury suffered at the end of 2012. He's hitting a blistering .317/.388/.623 with 12 homers and 45 RBI in his first 43 games.
