A five run fourth inning propelled the Royals to a series victory over the Boston Red Sox. Tom Tresh and Lou Piniella both had a couple of hits in pacing the KC offense. Tresh, along with Joe Keough, also contributed 2 rbi’s as the Royals wound up their series in Fenway.

It should be noted that Tom Tresh also extended his hitting streak to 12 games.

Bad news for the Royals, however, as starter Al Fitzmorris left in the third inning with back spasms. Initial reports are that it’s not serious though.

POG – Kansas City’s Tom Tresh – 2 for 5, 2 RBI, 1 3B, 1 R

“It’s always a good thing to get a series win,” said shortstop Tom Tresh. “Those guys are tough and it’s really nice to get this road trip started on the right foot.”

“It was a very intense spasm,” said KC’s team doctor Lou Howard when asked about Al Fitzmorris. “We don’t think it’s serious, so we’re going to give him some muscle relaxers tonight and take him in for a closer look after we get to New York.”
