Red Sox 7, Royals 3: Eduardo Rodriguez rebounds

Mookie Betts picked up four hits Friday night as part of a seven-run Red Sox attack that gave more than enough support to a strong rebound start from Eduardo Rodriguez.

The Red Sox didn't leave it in question for long whether they'd score against Yohan Pino. They wasted an infield single from Mookie Betts in the first when David Ortiz grounded into a double play. But the second saw very little waste indeed. A single from Xander Bogaerts and double from the returned Pablo Sandoval set up Mike Napoli, who singled up the middle to score both runs.
