David Ortiz hit a pair of home runs against the Athletics on Monday night to complete a red-hot month of April.
"With this weather, yes," Ortiz said, without hesitation when asked if it's the best he's felt this early into a season. "You try to work on something you haven't done in five months."
Ortiz hit .405 in April with six homers and 20 RBIs, posting a .543 average in Fenway Park (19 for 35).
"David's the star of star's right now," Bobby Valentine said. "He's hitting to all fields. It's hard to get a strike by him. The swing is probably as good as it can get."
