Sox' Ortiz hits first HR of season

ARLINGTON, Tex. -- Red Sox slugger David Ortiz has hit the first home run of the season for his team.

In the fifth inning, with one man on base, Ortiz hit a Kevin Millwood pitch over the fence to give Boston a 5-0 lead in their opener against the Texas Rangers.

Pitcher Curt Shilling is also having an excellent start, giving up just two hits and no runs through the first four innings against the potent Texas lineup.
