Royals Handed 7-2 Loss by Red Sox
The Boston Red Sox tallied a win at Fenway Park, throttling the Kansas City Royals, 7-2. Starting pitcher Cy Young was a big reason for his team's success. Boston raised its record to 52-45 with the win.

The Royals had been locked in a 1-1 tie with the Red Sox going into the bottom of the fourth inning. That changed quickly when the 27-year old left fielder Carl Yastrzemski came to the plate. Yastrzemski hit a 3-run home run on a first pitch fastball from Kansas City hurler Bret Saberhagen. It was Yastrzemski's 10th home run of the year.

"We understand we didn't play our best baseball," said losing manager . "We'll shower it off and be ready to compete."
