Varsho Slugs Royals to 7-4 Win
Kansas City defeated Boston, 7-4, in large part due to slugging center fielder Daulton Varsho. Varsho drove in 3 runs. The center fielder had 1 double and 2 home runs for the Royals. With the win, Kansas City pushed its record to 53-43.

Kansas City used a well-timed hit by Rafael Devers to capture the win. The designated hitter socked a 2-run double in the top of the fifth inning to put the Royals ahead, 5-2. Though it was his only hit in 5 at-bats, it was important.

"We took advantage of our opportunities," Varsho told the Kansas City Today. "It's as simple as that."
