David Ortiz celebrated two milestones on one hit and the Boston Red Sox survived two very close calls. Ortiz's solo homer in the fifth inning Friday night was his 2,000th hit with Boston and 522nd career home run, moving into sole possession of 19th place on baseball's all-time list and breaking a tie he held with a trio of Hall of Famers including Red Sox great Ted Williams. ''The man did it all,'' Ortiz said of Williams after Boston's 5-4 win over the Los Angeles Angels on Friday night.
