David Ortiz, Defense the Key for Red Sox in Recent Hot Streak (Video)

David Ortiz has been hitting well all season, helping push Boston past .500, but the Red Sox' recent success has also received a hand from stellar defense and a quality reliever.

Even with second baseman Dustin Pedroia out for a few games with a hand injury, Boston's infield has been holding its own. And Scott Atchison has turned into the surprising linchpin of a now resilient bullpen.

Jerry Remy talks about Ortiz, the defense and Atchison on Red Sox First Pitch.
