Kansas City Rallies for 4-1 Victory
Kansas City Royals starter Joe Reardon turned in a top-notch performance against the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park. The result was a win for the Royals, 4-1. Kevin Bartlett, who finished 2nd in the NL in innings pitched with 191.2 in 2051, earned the save for Kansas City. The loss drops the Red Sox to 3-5.

Kansas City used the timely hitting of Jim Mercado to seize the win. The right fielder stroked a 2-run single in the top of the eighth inning to put the Royals on top, 3-1. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"It's so much easier when you throw good pitches," said Reardon.
