David Ortiz didn't wait long Wednesday to notch his 1,689th hit as a DH and surpass Harold Baines for the all-time lead at a position that the AL adopted in 1973.

In the second inning, Ortiz took a 3-1 offering from Mariners starter Aaron Harang and lined a double into left-center field.

Ortiz already holds marks for the most runs scored, doubles, home runs, extra-base hits and RBIs by a DH.
