Red Sox Deal Royals Painful Loss
Boston Red Sox starter Pete Harnisch was in fine form against the Kansas City Royals at Fenway Park, leading his team to a 3-2 win. Boston now has a 3-game win streak.

The Red Sox got a big at-bat from pinch hitter Rusty Greer. For the game, Greer was 1 for 1. In the bottom of the 12th, with runners on 2nd and 3rd, he stroked a run-scoring single. His 24th hit of the season gave Boston a 3-2 lead.

"This place was electric at the end," Greer said.
