The Boston Red Sox beat the Kansas City Royals, 9-3, at Fenway Park. Boston left fielder Yoenis Cespedes earned player of the game honors with an outstanding performance. He went 3-4 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk. He scored 3 times and drove in 2. Marco Gonzales picked up the win with 5 innings of work. He allowed 1 earned run on 8 hits, while walking 3 and striking out 4. On the season, he is now 3-1. The Royals fall to 12-16 and continue their uneven start to the 2018 season.
The Red Sox got a big at-bat from second baseman Yangervis Solarte. For the game, Solarte went 1 for 4 with a home run, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once. In the bottom of the second, with runners on 1st and 3rd, he stroked a 3-run home run. His 5th home run of the season gave Boston a 3-1 lead.
"We maximized our offense today," said Boston skipper Matt Spencer. "That makes everyone's life easier."
