    David Ortiz doesn't do a lot of pinch-hitting, so it's rare for him to hit a home run in that role.

    So rare, in fact, that the last time was his first home run with the Red Sox.

    Eight years later, Ortiz did it again, homering in the ninth inning off Jose Valverde to give Boston a 4-3 victory over the Detroit Tigers in the opener of Sunday's day-night doubleheader.
