Red Sox Win in Extras
Fans who came to Fenway Park watched the Boston Red Sox and the Kansas City Royals fight to the finish.

The Boston Red Sox defeated the Kansas City Royals, 5-4, at Fenway Park today. Leading the charge for Boston was first baseman Matt Adams. He hit 2 home runs, while adding 3 RBI and scoring twice. The Royals fall to 12-18 and continue their uneasy start to the 2018 season.

Adams had a game-changing home run in the bottom of the tenth. On a 0-1 curveball from Carl Edwards Jr., he banged a solo home run to right, giving the Red Sox a 5-4 lead. It was the 3rd home run of the year for Adams.

"This is a resilient bunch," said Boston manager Matt Spencer.
