The Boston Red Sox racked up a win at Kauffman Stadium, bumping off the Kansas City Royals, 5-2. Zach Eflin, who started for Boston, pitched effectively for his team. The winning pitcher was Eflin, now 2-1. He tossed 6.2 innings of 2-hit ball, while walking 3 and fanning 8. The loss makes the Royals 7-12.

Gabe Breisch, the 25-year old left fielder , had a direct impact on the outcome. Breisch contributed a solo home run in the top of the third inning to put Boston up, 3-1.

"It was just a matter of executing," said Boston manager Rob Smith.
