| 1 | BOSTON (AP) -- David Ortiz was touched by watching the Hall of Fame induction speeches. |
| 2 | He then went out and added another big night to his illustrious career. |
| 3 | Big Papi homered twice and drove in a career-high seven runs to lead the Boston Red Sox to an 11-1 victory over the Detroit Tigers on Sunday night. |
| 4 | ''Today was a day that emotions were going all over the place,'' the 39-year-old Ortiz said. |
| 5 | ''I was watching the inductions. |
| 6 | I'm not going to lie to you. |
| 7 | Ortiz, who had two three-run homers and an RBI single, and Xander Bogaerts each had four of the season-high 20 hits by the Red Sox. |
| 8 | ''Big night for David and a big night for us offensively overall,'' manager John Farrell said. |
| 9 | Ortiz was especially touched by fellow countryman and teammate Pedro Martinez's induction. |
| 10 | The pair played on Boston's 2004 team that ended an 86-year World Series title drought. |
| 11 | ''Pedro, I got tears coming out when I hear Pedro talking because I know the man,'' Ortiz said. |
| 12 | Farrell believes it may have sparked Ortiz. |
| 13 | ''Maybe it's somewhat fitting for Boston baseball today with Pedro's induction and David with the seven RBIs as he climbs up higher on the all-time list,'' he said. |
| 14 | Ortiz passed three Hall of Famers to claim 38th place on the all-time RBI list with 1,587, passing Rogers Hornsby, Harmon Killebrew and former Tiger great Al Kaline. |
| 15 | ''I don't know if he's slowing down or not,'' Detroit manager Brad Ausmus said. |
| 16 | ''But he was fine tonight. |
| 17 | Boston won for just the second time 11 games - with both victories coming in this series. |
| 18 | Nick Castellanos hit a solo homer for the second straight day for the struggling Tigers, who have lost six of nine. |
| 19 | Eduardo Rodriguez (6-3) rebounded from a miserable start by pitching seven strong innings. |
| 20 | Ortiz's first homer cleared Detroit's bullpen, sailing into the right-field bleachers to snap a 1-all tie in the fifth. |
| 21 | He had an RBI single an inning later and belted his second homer - the 485th of his career - into the Green Monster seats in the seventh, taking a curtain call from the crowd when he got to the dugout. |
| 22 | Rodriguez allowed one run on three hits, striking out six and walking one. |
| 23 | He gave up seven runs in just 1 2/3 innings in his previous start Monday against the Los Angeles Angels. |
| 24 | Shane Greene (4-8) didn't make it out of the fifth inning for the third straight start since being recalled from Triple-A Toledo. |
| 25 | He gave up five runs - four in the fifth - on 11 hits in 4 1/3 innings. |
| 26 | ''Nothing changed,'' Greene said. |
| 27 | Mike Napoli chased Greene with a a ground-rule, RBI double, making it 5-1. |
| 28 | The Red Sox pushed it to 8-1 in the sixth against reliever Kyle Ryan on RBI singles by Ortiz, Pablo Sandoval and Napoli. |
| 29 | Castellanos homered leading off the fifth, hitting a drive into the center-field seats. |
| 30 | Tigers: 1B Miguel Cabrera, on the 15-day DL since July 4 with a strained left calf, ran on an antigravity treadmill before the game. |
| 31 | Ausmus said he'll take BP before the team opens a three-game series on the road against Tampa Bay on Monday. |
| 32 | ... RHP Alfredo Simon, who left Saturday's win with a slight groin injury, will work on the bike instead of jogging as he gets ready for his next start. |
| 33 | Red Sox: 2B Brock Holt tweaked his left leg rounding first after his first-inning single and stayed in until leaving with the team called ''tightness'' in the left knee in the sixth. |
| 34 | The ESPN Sunday Night crew called the game from the Monster seats, and Ortiz's second homer sailed a few feet from their spot. |
| 35 | Sandoval snapped an 0-for-19 stretch with a single in the second. |
| 36 | Tigers: RHP Anibal Sanchez (10-7) is slated to start the opener of a three-game set Monday against Tampa Bay's RHP Nathan Karns (5-5). |
| 37 | Red Sox: RHP Joe Kelley (2-6) is scheduled to make his second start since being recalled from the minors Monday when Boston begins a four-game series at Fenway Park against John Danks (5-8) and the Chicago White Sox. |
