2B – Daily News – Tuesday, July 13, 2010 David Ortiz beats Hanley Ramirez to win HR Derby ANAHEIM (AP) — Boston slugger David Ortiz won his first Home Run Derby title Monday night, hitting 11 homers in the final round to beat Florida’s Han- ley Ramirez at Angel Stadium. Big Papi added another high- light to his resurgent season with a relentless series of drives into the elevated stands above the right- field wall. Ortiz hit 21 homers in the first two rounds of his fourth derby before holding off Ramirez and beating a field missing most of the majors’ top power hitters. Ortiz said the title means a lot to him and dedicated his perfor- mance to former major league pitcher Jose Lima, a fellow Dominican Republic native who passed away in May after para- medics found him in cardiac arrest at his Southern California home. ‘‘I wanted to come here and make sure the fans enjoy what we do,’’ Ortiz said. Ramirez matched Ortiz’s 21 homers in the first two rounds, pulling most of his shots over the left-field wall. But Ortiz became just the second slugger to reach double digits in the final round, while Ramirez managed only five. Milwaukee’s Corey Hart and Detroit slugger Miguel Cabrera were eliminated in the second round, with Hart failing to con- nect after hitting 13 in the opening round. Ortiz hit 13 in the second Scoreboard MLB West Division Texas American League WL Pct GB Angels 47 44 .516 4.5 A’s Seattle 35 53 .398 15 East Division WL Pct GB New York 56 32 .636 — Tampa Bay 54 34 .614 2 Boston 51 37 .580 5 Toronto 44 45 .494 12.5 Baltimore 29 59 .330 27 Central Division Chicago 49 38 .563 — Detroit WL Pct GB 48 38 .558 .5 Minnesota 46 42 .523 3.5 Kansas City 39 49 .443 10.5 Cleveland 34 54 .386 15.5 ——— Tuesday's game All-Star Game at Anaheim, 5:05 p.m. National League WL Pct GB West Division Padres 51 37 .580 — Colorado 49 39 .557 2 Dodgers 49 39 .557 2 GIANTS 47 41 .534 4 Arizona 34 55 .382 17.5 East Division WL Pct GB Atlanta 52 36 .591 — New York 48 40 .545 4 Philadelphia 47 40 .540 4.5 Florida 42 46 .477 10 Washington 39 50 .438 13.5 Central Division WL Pct GB Cincinnati 49 41 .544 — St. Louis 47 41 .534 1 Milwaukee 40 49 .449 8.5 Chicago 39 50 .438 9.5 Houston 36 53 .404 12.5 Pittsburgh 30 58 .341 18 ——— Tuesday's game All-Star Game at Anaheim, 5:05 p.m. WNBA EASTERN CONFERENCE WL Pct GB Atlanta 14 5 .737 — Washington 12 5 .706 1 Indiana 11 6 .647 2 Connecticut 10 8 .556 3.5 New York 8 9 .471 5 Chicago 8 11 .421 6 WESTERN CONFERENCE WL Pct GB 50 38 .568 — 43 46 .483 7.5 Seattle 16 2 .889 — Phoenix 7 11 .389 9 San Antonio 6 10 .375 9 Minnesota 6 11 .353 9.5 Los Angeles 4 13 .235 11.5 Tulsa ——— Sunday’s result New York 57, Chicago 54 Today’s game Los Angeles at Tulsa, 4 p.m. NASCAR Sprint Cup Points Leaders 1.Kevin Harvick 2.
