David Ortiz set the record for hits by a designated hitter with his first hit of the evening, a double, although the Day by Day Database disagrees. That dataset has Ortiz tying the record with his home run in the third. The Red Sox lead the Mariners 4-0 in the bottom of the third.
Ortiz is a great hitter. I would like to see him into the hall of fake cause he is the best DH there is today.
