Fans who came to Royals Stadium watched the Boston Red Sox and the Kansas City Royals fight to the finish.
The Boston Red Sox bested the Kansas City Royals, 6-5, at Royals Stadium. Akira Eto was named player of the game. He went 2-5 with a home run. He drove in 4 runs and scored once. Shinji Imanaka earned the win for Boston. He lasted 7.1 innings, allowing 4 earned runs on 5 hits, while striking out 8. With the win, he raised his record to 7-3. Joe Borowski notched his 1st save in 3 chances.
Barry Bonds, who led the FL in runs with 131 in 1990, helped out the Boston cause in the top of the fifth inning with a run-scoring double. For the game, the left fielder was 1 for 4 with a double and a walk.
"It wasn't our best performance," said Eto, "but a win in this league is nothing to sniff at."
