David Ortiz went a combined 1-for-8 with two walks in Sunday's doubleheader against the Yankees. Entering Sunday, Ortiz was hitting .305 lifetime against the Yankees, including a .302 mark in 63 at-bats this season. So his 1-for-12 effort in the weekend series was a little out of character. He's now 7-for-41 (.171) in Boston's last 12 losses. The Red Sox needs more from Big Papi during these final three games.
