After tying the game with two runs in the eighth inning, the Royals got a tally in the bottom of the 10th to down the Red Sox, 6-5. A double by Clint Hurdle with two out in the 10th was followed by a single by U.L. Washington. The Royals' two runs in the eighth came home when Sox reliever Bill Campbell twice walked batters with the bases loaded. [The Sporting News]
