The 33-year-old right-hander led the Royals to an easy 7-0 victory, allowing 4 walks and tallying 13 strikeouts.

"I hope we miss him next time," Boston manager Brett Williams said. "Brown certainly pitched a strong game against us today. He was in a groove, throwing everything for strikes. Throwing hard. Changing speeds."
