Red Sox Top Royals in Extras
Kansas City shortstop Barry Larkin was sensational. He went 3-5 with a home run and 2 singles, while scoring 2 times and driving in 3, but it wasn't enough to rally his team to a win. Boston beat the Royals, 8-6. Larkin was named the player of the game despite the loss. The 5th-place Red Sox improved to 29-49.

Boston relied on the hitting of Shawn Gilbert to pick up the win. The second baseman ripped a 2-run single in the top of the tenth inning to put the Red Sox on top, 8-6. For the game, Gilbert had 1 triple and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"We take it day by day here," said Gilbert, "and today was a good one for us."
