Greene Slugs Red Sox to 9-5 Win
The Boston Red Sox trumped the Kansas City Royals, 9-5, at Fenway Park. Boston catcher Todd Greene was named player of the game for his performance. He was 3 for 4 with 2 home runs and a walk. He scored 4 times and drove in 3. Boston reliever Rosario Rodriguez picked up the win, upping his record to 1-0. Rheal Cormier absorbed the loss. Losses have been few and far between for the Royals so far this season. Their record drops to 25-8.

The Red Sox got a big at-bat from right fielder Oddibe McDowell. For the game, McDowell was 1-3 with a walk. In the bottom of the sixth, with runners on 1st and 3rd, he stroked a run-scoring single. His 22nd hit of the season gave Boston a 5-4 lead.

"You know, at the end of the day, it's about who scores the most runs," said Boston manager Brett Williams.
