Red Sox Turn Back Royals, 11-9
The Boston Red Sox defeated the Kansas City Royals, 11-9. Doing his part was left fielder Matt Holliday, who went 3-5 with 3 singles, while scoring 2 and driving in 2. Mike Fiers, who is tied for 2nd in the AL in wins with 5, was the winning pitcher. Over 6.1 innings, he allowed 6 runs on 9 hits, with 2 walks and 8 strikeouts. The save went to Aroldis Chapman, number 8 for him.

Andruw Jones had a big 3-run home run for the Red Sox in the bottom of the fourth inning. With Boston leading 1-0 and runners on 1st and 2nd, he sized up a fastball from 26-year old left-handed pitcher Jose Quintana and punished it. The result was his 6th home run of the season, which put the Red Sox on top, 4-0.

"We'll take some time to unwind," said Holliday, "and then get after it again."

Boston is now 16-19, Kansas City 14-21.
