(29-25, Third in ALW, 2.0 GB)
Game #055 @ Boston (Fourth in ALE, 5.0 GB)
SP – KC: Mike Hedlund (3-4 3.03) BOS: Mike Nagy (2-3 4.42)

HR – KC: Mike Fiore (9)
The Royals quickly sprinted out to a 2-0 lead behind a 2-run homer from Mike Fiore in the first. In the third, Ellie Rodriguez was hit by pitch that forced in a run and Tom Tresh, who extended his hit streak to 11 games, capped the KC scoring with a 2 rbi single.

The Red Sox scored once in the fourth on a Reggie Smith rbi single, but that was the only run allowed by Royals starter Mike Hedlund. The ninth inning got a little exciting as reliever Galen Cisco wobbled, allowing 2 runs to Boston, before finally recording the final out.

POG – Kansas City’s Mike Hedlund – 8 IP, 3 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 2 K, 84 pitches

“I was surprised when skip told me to stay in the dugout,” answered Mike Hedlund when asked about not coming out to pitch the ninth. “I still felt pretty strong and it’s not like I was pitching in trouble very much today. We got the win, though, and that’s what matters.”

“We got the win no thanks to me,” replied Galen Cisco afterwards. “Just couldn’t quite feel right on that mound today. I don’t know if it was the mound or me, but I just wasn’t real comfortable out there.”
