David Ortiz greets Manny Ramirez after they both homered, following a home run by Kevin Youkilis, in the sixth inning tonight.

For the first time in LCS history, a club hit back-to-back-to-back home runs as the Sox' Kevin Youkilis, David Ortiz and Manny Ramirez crushed solo homers in the top of the sixth inning. It was the second time in postseason history, however, that a team belted three consecutive blasts. The Yankees’ Tim Raines, Derek Jeter and Paul O’Neil accomplished the feat in the 1997 ALDS against the Indians.
