A sore-kneed David Ortiz chugged around third base, with home plate and the end of a scoreless pitching duel in sight.
Third-base coach DeMarlo Hale energetically waved the 230-pound designated hitter on and Ortiz scored easily when Vernon Wells picked up and then dropped Kevin Youkilis’ ninth-inning single to center field.
Ortiz was mobbed by his teammates. Toronto’s Roy Halladay trudged off the mound, a 1-0 loser Tuesday night as the Red Sox ended a five-game losing streak.
