Pedroia doubled off of Cardinals starter Adam Wainwright, who endured a similar rough beginning to Game 1, with one out in the inning. That set the table for Ortiz, who collected his ninth hit in 12 at-bats in the series.
Ortiz has six RBI and has yet to strike out in 17 World Series plate appearances.
