ST. LOUIS (AP) -Manny Ramirez of the Los Angeles Dodgers hit his 513th home run in the second inning Wednesday night, breaking a tie for 20th place with Ernie Banks and Eddie Mathews on the career list.
Ramirez was booed before leading off the second, the crowd evidently slow to forget that he was the World Series MVP in 2004 when the Boston Red Sox swept the Cardinals. Ramirez proceeded to belt a hanging curveball from Joel Pineiro over the center-field wall.
The hit made Ramirez 11-for-17 with three homers, two doubles and six RBIs since joining the Dodgers just before last week’s non-waiver trade deadline.
