"I was trying to attack the zone. Papi got me. Congrats to him," Griffin said. "That's a great milestone right there. My name will be next to that one."
Ortiz's 22nd home run of the season tied the game at 1. Ortiz has 352 home runs and 1,142 RBIs as a designated hitter for most all time by a DH.
Ortiz tipped his batting helmet as his milestone was announced to a standing ovation before he stepped in to hit in the sixth, then drew a five-pitch walk. He was thrilled with the surprising gesture from a crowd of 28,240.
"That was pretty cool. You're playing on the road and you get something like that on the road, where people really appreciate it," he said.
