Royals Drop Red Sox, 8-7
Behind a fine performance from Nick Williams, the Kansas City Royals knocked off the Boston Red Sox, 8-7. Williams went 1-3 with a home run and 2 walks, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 2 for the Royals. Luis Castillo earned the win after being brought in from the bullpen. The right-hander allowed 1 run on 2 hits in 1.2 innings. His record is now 4-0. Clay Zavada wrapped it up, recording his 1st save.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Miguel Cabrera? The Kansas City first baseman had a run-scoring single in the top of the sixth inning to put the Royals on top, 8-7. For the game, Cabrera had 2 doubles and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"We got the victory," said Williams. "That's all that matters at the end of the day."

Kansas City has won 3 straight, while Boston has lost 3 in a row.
