Red Sox Realm Royals, 8 to 3

BOSTON: 0 0 0 0 2 0 2 1 3 - 8 12 0

KANSAS: 1 0 0 0 0 0 2 0 0 - 3 9 0

Where to begin? Let's start at the end - the Boston Red Sox decisively broke their three-game losing streak with a multi-homer-fueled victory over the Kansas City Royals in Kauffman Stadium! Yes, Boston came through. Great to see two "old" regulars in the game - Varitek and Lowell, especially as Jason contributed not one, but two homeruns and Mike played flawlessly at third. Four Red Sox batters were responsible for five homeruns that produced six runs. Now that's hitting! The longballs came en masse tonight and let's hope Boston keeps that high hitting. Of course Josh a had better outing and personal outcome than he did on Opening Night. Could 'Tek have been a factor? Whatever it was, I'm glad it was there. Tomorrow Boston, let's win your first series of the season and keep the momentum going.
