Royals Edge Past Red Sox, 8-7
The Kansas City Royals trumped the Boston Red Sox, 8-7, at Kauffman Stadium. Kansas City third baseman Nolan Arenado was named player of the game for his performance. He was 3 for 6 with a home run and a triple. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. Kansas City reliever Jordan Zimmermann picked up the win, upping his record to 3-4. Edwin Diaz was saddled with the loss. Kansas City occupies third place in the American League Central Division at 37-51.

The clutch at-bat came in the bottom of the 11th inning, when Kansas City designated hitter Luis Valbuena, facing Jett Bandy, had a run-scoring walk. It gave the Royals the 8-7 win.

"Enjoyed this one," Arenado told the Kansas City Today. "But it's back to work tomorrow."
