Game Story: Red Sox bat around Royals, 13-9

Share

BOSTONAs the summer heathas picked up, so have the Red Sox.

The Sox have been the best team in Major League Baseball during the month of July by absolutely scalding the ball all the way to a 17-4 record for the month, and took another step with a 13-9 thrashing of the Kansas City Royals at Fenway Park.

It was the sixth time during July that the Sox have scored more than 10 runs in a game and out-slugged whichever team lined up against them on the other side of the diamond.

The middle of Bostons batting order did the bulk of the damage in a game that featured a feeble mound performance from lefty Andrew Miller, and Adrian Gonzalez, Dustin Pedroia and David Ortiz powered Boston to victory.
