Andrew Cashner (5.1-7-6-2-4, 83) failed to endear himself to Red Sox fans once again. He has allowed four or more runs in four of his five Boston starts.
Jorge Soler belted two home runs (412 and 385 feet) and Ryan O'Hearn (he of the .174 average and .304 slugging) hit one.
Cashner: "I thought I had good stuff. Made three mistakes. They hit three home runs." (I did not watch this game, but I know that more than three of his 83 pitches were mistakes.)
Andrew Benintendi singled in a run in the third and Cashner got the first two Royals in the fourth.
