The Red Sox kept winning at home even without David Ortiz. Coco Crisp hit a tie-breaking double and Boston won the matchup of the AL East's top two teams with a 7-4 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays on Tuesday ...

Boston slugger David Ortiz, off to the worst star of his career, was back in Boston's starting lineup on Monday night against Cleveland after getting a day off to clear his head and find his batting stroke.

Ortiz was in his familiar No. 3 spot as Boston's DH, one night after sitting out a nationally televised game against the New York Yankees.

So much for the curse. The New York Yankees have ended a construction worker's attempt to jinx their new stadium with a buried Boston Red Sox jersey.

Team officials watched Sunday as construction workers removed the jersey, with slugger David Ortiz's name on it, from 2 feet of concrete in a service corridor of the stadium that's under construction.
