David Ortiz has his third home run of the season in the books, hitting an A.J. Burnett 2-2, 95 mph fastball over the center field wall for a two-run homer. The blast scored Mike Lowell, who had led off the inning with a walk. 

J.D. Drew capped the inning’s scoring by launching an 0-2, 95 mph fastball off the top of the left field wall, scoring both Mark Kotsay and Nick Green.

Drew is typically a terrible 0-2 hitter, having struck out 12 times in 17 chances on the count, while hitting just .167 after going to 0-2.

Burnett finished the second having thrown 43 pitches in the frame, and has 61 after two. The Red Sox head to the third leading, 4-0.
