Slump? Sox 4, Rangers 1

... not to say it's over or anything, but Ortiz just sent a nice sized moonball over the Covidien logo on the Green Monster for a Grand Slam, the eighth of his career seventh with Boston sixth on the all-time Red Sox list.

Josh Hamilton drove home the first run of the night on a sac fly. Doesn't mean a ton at the moment with Manny digging in and nearly taking Mendoza's head off with a line drive up the middle.
