The Red Sox prevailed 10-7 tonight in a slugfest at Royals Stadium. They pounded out 18 hits, including 8 extra base hits in the game, as they jumped on Kansas City starter Kevin Appier for the second time in just over a week. Wade Boggs and Ellis Burks had 3 hits apiece to lead a Red Sox lineup in which each starter had at least one hit. Dana Kiecker got the benefit of the great run support to earn the win despite allowing 6 runs and 9 hits in 5+ innings. Following the recent struggles of closer Jeff Reardon, it was Steve Farr who got the ball in the 9th inning in a save situation.

Boston hit double digits in runs for the second day in a row in Kansas City, beating the Royals by a score of 10-5. They used an 8 run 5th inning to knock Royals starter Howard Farmer out of the game and break the game open. Mo Vaughn and Mike Greenwell had 3 hits apiece for the Red Sox to pace their attack. One of Greenwell's 3 hits was certainly memorable as he recorded an inside the park home run in the 4th inning. Jimmy Key earned the win, pitching 7 dominant innings while allowing just 1 run on 5 hits to improve to 2-2 on the season. Jeff Reardon who had recently been removed from the closer role, pitched a clean 8th inning. Chris Bosio, recently demoted from the rotation, did not fare as well. He entered a 10-1 game in the 9th inning and was unable to retire any of the 6 batters he faced. His future with the team is murky at best.

After Boston took the first 5 games of the season against Kansas City, the Royals struck back in a big way tonight, winning 16-2. Bret Saberhagen threw a complete game to earn his first win of the season, and allowed just 2 hits before the 9th inning. Bob Tewksbury got the start for the Red Sox and took a big step backward after his promising start to the season. He lasted 2.2 innings, allowing 9 runs on 11 hits. With Ellis Burks DHing and getting a day off from center field, Kevin Romine opened the flood gates with a key error in the 2nd inning. Brian McRae went 3-for-4 and homered twice, giving him 4 in his last 3 games. Joey Cora went 4-for-5 atop the Royals' order. The most encouraging sign from this game for Boston was Chris Bosio pitching 3 inning in mop up duty and allowing just 1 hit.
