Red Sox Raise Rally Flag, Beat Kansas City, 10-7
The Boston Red Sox trumped the Kansas City Royals, 10-7, at Kauffman Stadium. Boston center fielder Akil Baddoo was terrific. He went 3 for 5 with a home run and a double, while adding 4 RBI and scoring once. Alexis Diaz notched his 22nd save in 26 chances. With the win, Boston upped its record to 59-55.

Boston used a timely hit from Leody Taveras to get the win. The right fielder stroked a bases-clearing double in the top of the ninth inning to put the Red Sox ahead, 9-7. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it made an impact.

"We just try to have good at-bats, whether we're winning, losing, or tied," said Taveras.
