In a thrilling matchup, the Kansas City Royals halted the Boston Red Sox's seven-game streak with a decisive 7-3 victory. Jonathan India was a standout, contributing with a powerful three-run homer, while Michael Wacha showcased his pitching prowess by allowing only two runs across six innings, securing his second consecutive win. The Royals capitalized on a fourth-inning rally, taking the lead with Kyle Isbel's two-run single after trailing 2-0. The Red Sox, despite an impressive start, faltered as India’s homer widened their deficit in the seventh.

Boston's Roman Anthony had a challenging night, failing to secure a hit in four at-bats following a lucrative contract extension. Moments of brilliance were overshadowed when defensive lapses allowed the Royals to extend their lead. Looking ahead, the Royals are set to face the Minnesota Twins, while the Red Sox prepare for a series against the San Diego Padres.
