Boston's Ortiz is hitting something along the line .080.
Not sure about that. They are averaging 3 runs per game. Sounds to me like the pitching is what is under pressure. They have to be almost perfect every time out to get a win. Hard to "pitch to contact" when you only can allow2 runs over 9 innings.
