Spencer Torkelson left his imprint on the 10-4 Boston win against the Kansas City Royals. Torkelson, who is tied for 9th in the AL in extra base hits with 52, was 3 for 5 with a home run and a double. He drove in 6 runs and scored once. The win gives Boston a season record of 58-55.

With Boston leading 4-3 in the top of the seventh, Torkelson hit a fastball from Daniel Coulombe for a grand slam home run. It was his 25th home run of the season and put the Red Sox ahead, 8-3.

"I'm just trying to make good contact," said Torkelson, "one at-bat at a time."
