David Ortiz drove in seven runs in the Red Sox' 11-1 victory over the Tigers. Only four players as old as Ortiz (39 years old) have had seven or more RBIs in one game. Stan Musial, Reggie Jackson, and Jason Giambi did it at age 40, and Ted Williams at 39 (an "older 39") than Ortiz.
WEEI, on Rodriguez:
"In six night games this season, he's 5-0 with a major league-leading 1.14 ERA (min. 30 innings). Rodriguez has allowed one earned run or less in seven of his first 11 starts in the majors, becoming the first AL left-hander to do so since at least 1918."
