The Boston Red Sox may be struggling, but it isn't because of the recent efforts of David Ortiz.
Big Papi launched his 475th career homer - a three-run blast - in the bottom of the fifth inning of Sunday's contest with the Toronto Blue Jays to move into a tie for 29th all time with legendary sluggers Stan Musial and Willie Stargell.

The Red Sox fell 13-5 to the Blue Jays on Sunday despite Ortiz's offensive contribution.
Boston has now dropped six straight games.
