Pawtucket Red Sox manager Ron Johnson may be reluctant to see David Ortiz return to Boston after he completes his minor league rehab assignment. For the second time in two nights, Ortiz homered to key a PawSox victory — this time by a 6-1 score over the Toledo...

In the first half of the season, some usual suspects led the team to a first place finish at the break. Kevin Youkilis tore the cover off the baseball and played exceptional defense, while his infield partners Dustin Pedroia and Mike Lowell continued at their All-Star...
