Red Sox Use Late Rally to Win
The Boston Red Sox outlasted the Kansas City Royals, 6-4, in 10 innings. Ted Williams played a key role, going 4-for-5 for Boston. Picking up his 35th save was 26-year old right-handed pitcher Jonathan Papelbon. Boston goes to 79-71, Kansas City to 78-71.

Had Williams not come through in the top of the tenth, who knows how the game would've ended? But with two down, Williams hit a 2-run single. The Red Sox took the lead, 6-4, and never looked back.

"It's a satisfying feeling, to win like we did," said Williams.
