We're pretty sure everyone in
TwinkieNation has gotten the message from
David Americo (Arias) Ortiz. Apparently, he's trying to impress upon his old franchise that—
perhaps—they shouldn't have flat-out
released him back on December 16, 2002. A little more than a month later, he signed with Boston for what amounted to chump change. Last night—
for the second consecutive night—Papi launched
two HRs in
a 9-4 win at Target Field. Maybe they should re-name it Target
Practice Field in Papi's honor. Ortiz went 3-5 with two more RBIs—so now he's hitting
.528 for his career at the Minneapolis venue.
Felix Doubront got his first win since April 3rd—going 6 1/3 innings and giving up just one earned run.
Grady Sizemore went 2-4 with two RBIs—hitting out of the fifth spot in the line-up. The series wraps up today with a 1:10 Eastern start.
