Red Sox legend David Ortiz gets his No. 34 retired in a pregame ceremony Friday night at Fenway Park.
Big Papi had the personality that captivated anyone in his presence, and the cameras never saw a side of Ortiz they didn't like.
He is 1-2 in four June starts, allowing 28 hits and 18 earned runs in 19 innings - and lasted just three-plus innings in his last start, losing to the Kansas City Royals.
Los Angeles scored three runs in the seventh, but cooled off after Porcello exited.
Now Fister will make his first start for the Red Sox today against the Angels, who are in the town this weekend.
The left-hander got into some immediate trouble in the first inning, as L.A. tagged him for three singles, the third of which of the bat of Martin Maldonado which knocked in Kole Calhoun for Los Angeles' first run. Ramirez struck out swinging before Bradley was hit by a pitch and then Vazquez and Deven Marrero both grounded out.
The Angels took advantage of shortstop Xander Bogaerts' throwing error for an unearned run and that put them ahead 2-1 in the fourth.

Boston Red Sox great David Ortiz waves to fans Friday, June 23, 2017, at Fenway Park in Boston as the team retired his jersey No. 34, worn when he led the franchise to three World Series titles. LHP Eduardo Rodriguez, on the DL with a right knee subluxation, threw 68 pitches and could be in line for a rehab start with Portland this week. He was pitching with their Triple-A affiliate in Salt Lake City, but had a clause in his deal to opt out if he wasn't added to the major league roster by June 21.
