Big Day by McKee Ignites Royals Win
The Kansas City Royals powered past the Boston Red Sox, 8-4, at Fenway Park. Steve McKee went 2 for 3 with 2 home runs and 2 walks. He drove in 4 runs and scored twice, to lead the charge. Jeff Brazell got the win, improving to 7-8. He held the Red Sox to 2 runs on 4 hits over 5.2 innings, while striking out 3 and walking 2. After today's action, Kansas City sits at 48-59; Boston slips to 45-62.

It could have been a different outcome for Kansas City, had it not been for Sean Graul, the 24-year old left fielder . Graul contributed a run-scoring single in the top of the third inning to put Kansas City up, 3-2.

"Winning is not something we take for granted," McKee said.
