Posted by Steve Crowe, Globe Correspondent July 18, 2008 08:29 PM

PAWTUCKET, R.I. -- David Ortiz just blasted his second home run in as many games with the Pawtucket Red Sox, a scorcher into the left field seats.

The homer came on a 1-1 belt-high fastball on the outside part of the plate. Ortiz took it the opposite way for his second home run and fourth RBI of this rehab stint.

Ortiz was also going to left field a lot during batting practice.

1st pitch: Dribbler foul down first base line
2nd pitch: Ball, low and inside
3rd pitch: 3-run home run to left field on a 1-1 belt-high fastball

PawSox lead it, 6-1, in the fifth inning.
