Kansas City turned a fine outing from starter José Cubero into a victory over the Boston Red Sox at Kauffman Stadium. The final score was 5-2. Cubero yielded no runs over 5.2 innings to notch the win. He scattered 5 hits, walked 1, and struck out 7. His record improves to 3-0. Kansas City, with the win, is 18-8.

Preston Valentine dealt the Red Sox a blow in the bottom of the third. Batting with runners on 2nd and 3rd and Kansas City leading 1-0, Valentine, who finished 4th in the NL in runs with 101 in 2062, hit a 0-1 circle change for a 2-run single.

Said losing manager Steve Porter: "The at-bats, obviously, needed to be better."
