Ortiz in lineup after missing game with sore foot

BALTIMORE -- David Ortiz apparently found a unique elixir for his sore left foot: A trip to Camden Yards.

Ortiz has six home runs in his last nine games in Baltimore, so after sitting out Sunday in Toronto, the Boston Red Sox slugger returned to the lineup for a Memorial Day matinee against the Orioles, the opener of a four-game series between the top two teams in the American League East.

"He's good to go today," said manager John Farrell, who used Ortiz's return to give first baseman Hanley Ramirez a rare day off against Orioles right-hander Tyler Wilson.
