Boston Red Sox designated hitter David Ortiz, who was scratched with a sore left foot Sunday, returned to the starting lineup against the Baltimore Orioles on Memorial Day.
The Red Sox slugger had six home runs in his previous nine games in Baltimore at Camden Yards. In the eighth inning, Ortiz belted his 14th home run of the season off rookie lefty Ashur Tolliver to give the Red Sox a 4-2 lead.
