LeMahieu Stars for Royals in 9-5 Win
The Kansas City Royals beat the Boston Red Sox, 9-5, at Fenway Park. The win was due in part to third baseman DJ LeMahieu, who was 3-4 with a home run, a double, and a walk, while scoring 3 and driving in 3. James Shields was the winner. Over 7 innings, he yielded 4 runs on 6 hits, with no walks and 7 strikeouts. The Kansas City win streak is now 3 games.

With Kansas City leading 6-2 in the top of the eighth, LeMahieu came up to bat against Boston pitcher Brad Hand. LeMahieu hit a fastball to left-center for a 3-run home run. His 2nd home run of the season put the Royals on top, 9-2.

"Enjoyed this one," LeMahieu told the Kansas City Citizen. "But it's back to work tomorrow."
