Red Sox Stymie Kansas City, Take 5-1 Win
The Kansas City Royals and Boston Red Sox brought some excitement to Kauffman Stadium.

The Boston Red Sox stymied the Kansas City Royals, 5-1, at Kauffman Stadium. Eduardo Nunez, who had a good day at the plate, was named player of the game. He was 3 for 5 with a double and 2 singles. He scored 2 times for Boston. The winner was Noah Syndergaard, who threw 94 pitches over 5 innings. The right-hander was charged with 1 run on 6 hits.

The tide might have turned with one out in the bottom of the third, had not Noah Syndergaard made a big pitch. With runners on 1st and 2nd and the Royals trailing 2-0, he retired Nolan Arenado, who lined out.

The Red Sox bumped their record to 52-38 with this latest triumph.
