David Ortiz was scheduled to get the night off, although he told Boston manager John Farrell that he was available. "We'd be crazy not to use David, given his production and capability," Farrell said. So Ortiz came in to pinch-hit for Brandon Snyder with the Red Sox clinging to a one-run lead in the eighth inning. Big Papi responded with a two-run homer to help Boston beat the Los Angeles Angels 6-2 in the series opener on Friday night. ESPN Red Sox posters We can make a Red Sox forum for you! Stay together.
