Would you look at that? For the first time since June 4-6, the Kansas City Royals came away with a series win. They accomplished this feat after defeating the Boston Red Sox 7-3 in an exciting and rather enjoyable game in which they were firing on all cylinders—well, most of them, anyway.
Royals starter Mike Minor made a pretty big mistake against Kike Hernandez in the second inning: with two outs, two strikes, and no balls, Minor tossed a lazy changeup middle-in, which Hernandez promptly sent soaring for a two-run home run to give the Red Sox the lead.
