David Ortiz Hits His 400th Home run

Ortiz hit his 400th homer with a leadoff drive to right in the fourth inning against Oakland starter A.J. Griffin, yet Boston managed little else in losing to the Athletics 3-2 on Wednesday and leaving town with a sweep to carry for the long flight home.

The 36-year-old Big Papi’s home runs rank eighth among active players and 49th on the all-time list. Next up for him to catch: Hall of Famer Duke Snider with 407.
