The Boston Red Sox were powered to an impressive 10-4 road win over the Tampa Bay Rays on Saturday night by David Ortiz, who hit two home runs to join the 500-home run club.

Ortiz's home runs led an offensive explosion for the Red Sox, who also were aided by another solid outing from starting pitcher Rick Porcello.

Here's a recap of Red Sox-Rays.

GAME IN A WORD

Offense.

The Red Sox scored 10 runs, collected 13 hits, including four home runs and five extra-base hits. Nine of the 12 Red Sox players with a plate appearance had at least one hit.

IT WAS OVER WHEN...

Ortiz' 500th home run in the fifth inning gave Boston a commanding 8-0 lead, which was more than enough run support for Porcello.

ON THE BUMP

-- Rick Porcello pitched two scoreless innings and then tossed a perfect third inning on just eight pitches. He had retired six in a row entering the fourth inning before running into a little trouble by giving up a double and a walk. Porcello prevented any further damage by recording the final two outs.

He gave up a two-run homer to John Jaso in the fifth inning and another earned run in the seventh, but he pitched very well overall. His final line: three earned runs, five hits, eight strikeouts, five walks on 118 pitches over seven innings.

-- Heath Hembree pitched the eighth inning and gave up a solo homer to Luke Maile.

-- Matt Barnes pitched a perfect ninth frame to secure the win. He had one strikeout.

IN THE BATTER'S BOX

-- Mookie Betts led off the game with a single to extend his hitting streak to 17 games. He homered in the third inning and finished 2 for 4 with three runs and an RBI.

-- Dustin Pedroia hit his 10th homer of the season in the third inning. It marks the first time he's hit double-digit homers since 2012. He also hit a two-run double in the fourth inning off Rays starter Matt Moore. He went 2 for 4 with a run and three RBIs.

-- Xander Bogaerts singled in the first inning and later scored on Ortiz's home run. He was 1 for 4.

-- Ortiz hit two homers, the 499th of his career in the first inning (a three-run blast) and a solo homer in the fourth frame for No. 500. He's the 27th player to reach the 500-home run milestone. He finished 3 for 4 with two runs and four RBIs.

-- Travis Shaw went 1 for 4 with a run, a walk and two RBIs.

-- Pablo Sandoval was the only Red Sox starter without a hit. He was 0 for 5.

TWEET OF THE GAME

Ortiz is in impressive company.
