The Boston Red Sox beat the Houston Astros on Saturday night, extending their record to 17-7 on the season.
The mark represents the best start for the team since 2002.
David Ortiz is hitting .519 (14 of 27) with two homers and nine RBIs since getting back into the lineup last Saturday after dealing with a heel injury.
"He's doing things that look to him to be very easy, but its hard to imagine or even script out that he'd have this kind of performance considering the layoff," manager John Farrell said.
Boston can tie a club record for the most wins in April by completing a four-game sweep over Houston (7-17) on Sunday.
