BOSTON -- John Lackey has watched David Ortiz wreak destruction on playoff opponents before. He finally got a chance to see it from the same dugout. "I like it a lot better on this side, thats for sure," Lackey said after Ortiz hit two homers to lead the Red Sox to a 7-4 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays on Saturday and give Boston a 2-0 lead in the AL division series. It was the first two-homer post-season game for Ortiz, who is the only player remaining from the 2004 Red Sox team that won the franchises first World Series title in 86 years. He was also a star of the 07 team that won it all; both times, they opened the playoffs by eliminating Lackeys Los Angeles Angels. "Hes tough this time of year -- any time of year," Lackey said. "Hes a guy that likes bright lights, for sure." Jacoby Ellsbury had three hits and scored three runs for the AL East champions. Dustin Pedroia drove in three runs, and Lackey earned the win in his first post-season start since joining the Red Sox as a free agent in 2010. Ortiz hit his first homer in the first inning, then his second in the eighth to chase Rays starter David Price. "As long as we win, it means a lot," Ortiz said. "Its not over. Weve got to keep on fighting." Tampa Bay will need a victory in Game 3 on Monday in St. Petersburg, Fla., to avoid a sweep in the best-of-five series. The Rays won three win-or-go-home games this week just to reach this round, including Prices complete game in the tiebreaker against Texas to determine the second AL wild-card team. "Im really looking forward to Game 5 here," said Rays manager Joe Maddon, knowing the Rays would have to win the next two to force the series to the limit. "We just went through a week of (our) backs against the wall, so its not new to us. Its going to be difficult. ... But I dont think its impossible by any means." "Boston this time of the year is kind of lovely, and Im looking forward to coming back in a few days." With the situation not yet desperate, Price allowed seven runs on nine hits and two walks, striking out five. He took the mound for the eighth inning, but Ortiz hit his second pitch high over the Pesky Pole, and right-field umpire Chris Guccione signalled it fair. "When he hits two home runs, things are going to revolve around him," Red Sox manager John Farrell said. "Hes the main cog in our lineup." There was no such suspense for Ortizs first homer, which went into Boston bullpen to make it 2-0. Not even right fielder Wil Myers, who misplayed a Big Papi popup into a double in right field in Bostons 12-2 win on Friday, could be blamed for that one. Every Red Sox starter had a hit and scored a run in Game 1. In the sequel, everyone in the starting lineup got a hit except Mike Napoli, who drew two walks. Lackey lasted 5 1-3 innings for Boston, allowing four runs on seven hits and three walks. He struck out six and also hit a batter while getting the win. Koji Uehara struck out the first two batters in the ninth before retiring Myers on a grounder. The most visible -- but hardly the only --defensive goat in Game 1, Myers was razzed by the Fenway Park crowd during every at-bat. The Rays rookie drew a sarcastic cheer after catching an easy fly ball in the fifth, but he had no real problems in the field. Not so for the rest of the Rays. They committed two errors -- a throwing error by second baseman Ben Zobrist and one by catcher Jose Molina in the first, when Ellsbury stole second and took third on the throw. It was that kind of night for Ellsbury, who missed most of September with a broken right foot. After hitting a single and scoring in the first, he reached on a bloop double behind the third baseman in the third to drive in a run, moved up on Shane Victorinos single and scored on Pedroias grounder. He also singled to lead off the fifth and scored on Pedroias double. Tampa Bay made it 6-4 on Yuniel Escobars single, but Ortiz gave Boston back its cushion with a high fly ball that sailed over the right field foul pole that sits just 302 feet from home plate. Escobar, James Loney and Desmond Jennings each had two hits for Tampa Bay. NOTES: The Red Sox also beat the Rays in Game 1 of their last playoff matchup, the 2008 AL championship series. Tampa Bay won Game 2 and won the series in seven games. ... Victorino broke up a double play in the third by upending Ben Zobrist at second base. ...

The Canucks attempt to avoid losing back-to-back road games for just the second time this season Sunday night, when they try to continue their dominance of the sputtering Ottawa Senators. Listen to the Canucks vs. Senators live on TSN Radio 1040 Vancouver with coverage starting at 2pm pt. Vancouver (18-8-1) owns the best road record in the NHL at 11-5-0, and the team is 3-2 during this extended jaunt. However, the Canucks are coming off a miserable performance, giving up the first four goals in a 5-2 loss at Toronto on Saturday despite holding a 46-28 shot advantage. It felt like we couldve won this game, captain Henrik Sedin said. Even down 4-0, I thought we created enough chances to come back in the game. We hit a few posts and werent able to score more than two. The Canucks may like their chances at bouncing back since theyre 12-3-0 in their last 15 games versus the Senators (10-11-5), including a 4-3 home win Nov. 11. Theyve won six of seven visits to Ottawa, including three straight after a 5-2 victory Nov. 28, 2013. Brothers Henrik and Daniel Sedin, who are tied for the team lead with 25 points, are looking to continue tormenting the Senators. Henrik Sedin has 19 points in 14 games, while Daniel Sedin has 17 in 15. Both have been dominant in Ottawa, combining for 20 points in seven games, including 11 in the past three. Radim Vrbata missed the latest matchup with a leg injury, and he found the net in each of his last three meetings with the Senators while playing for Phoenix.dddddddddddd The right wings 11 goals top Vancouver, but hes scored just once in six games. Ottawa has lost five games in a row (0-4-1) - four by one goal - for the first time since dropping six straight from March 10-22. The Senators pulled closer to that mark Saturday, falling 3-2 at Pittsburgh. Were doing a lot of good things that enable us to win games and were just not getting the results right now, said Craig Anderson, who made 30 saves. It can be frustrating at times, but if we keep focusing on the process and keep focusing on our game, the results will turn around for us and thats what the last few games have been about. Weve been there. Weve been close. We just need to get over that hump. Anderson is enduring his own losing streak, going 0-5-1 with a 3.19 goals-against average, and hes 1-2-1 with a 3.93 mark in his last four games against Vancouver. Backup Robin Lehners only appearance against the Canucks came in relief of Anderson in the most recent home meeting. He stopped 12 of 13 shots after Anderson gave up four goals on 15 attempts and was chased midway through the second period. Erik Karlsson has also struggled against the Canucks, getting just one point in nine career meetings - none in four at home. The defenseman, though, has 10 points in 11 home games, collecting one in each of the past four. Mika Zibanejad has a three-game point streak, scoring goals in back-to-back contests to give him five on the season. ' ' '
