BOSTON - Playing against the National League put David Ortiz in postseason form.

The Red Sox slugger beat the Philadelphia Phillies in extra innings for the second consecutive game, singling home the winning run in the 12th for an 8-7 victory on Monday and extending Boston’s winning streak to nine games.

It was the 10th regular-season, game-ending hit of Ortiz’s career and the third in Boston’s last eight home games. He also had three in the 2004 postseason en route to Boston’s first World Series title in 86 years."

That puts the RS Nation in great shape for the three game series against the Mets...

Could we see a 12 game streak?

Here's hoping.
