Red Sox Jolt Royals with Late Rally
Boston starter John Ericks had a strong outing against the Kansas City Royals at Fenway Park. The right-hander was a big part of his team's 4-2 win. Boston reliever Doug Piatt picked up the win, bumping his record to 2-1. Bobby J. Jones was collared with the loss. The win boosts the Red Sox to 16-27. The loss puts the Royals at 30-14.

Phil B. Clark put Boston in front, 2-1, when he hit a 2-run home run off Bobby J. Jones in the bottom of the fifth. It was his 2nd home run of the season.

"The effort we put into this one paid off," Ericks said.
