Dominic Smith’s go-ahead run: On Tuesday, the Red Sox got another win over the Royals thanks in part to the base-running of first baseman Dominic Smith.

Smith, 29, doubled to begin the top of the sixth. After advancing to third, he ran home when right-hander Seth Lugo threw a pitch that bounced away from Kansas City catcher Salvador Perez.

Though Smith is perhaps not known for his speed or agility, he was eventually credited to have evaded the attempted tag from Lugo. Initially, however, Smith was called out.

It led to a challenge from Red Sox manager Alex Cora, though Smith was skeptical at first.
