A series of unusual occurrences, as well as offensive struggles that we’ve seen all too often in this franchise’s history season, handed the Boston Red Sox a 4-3 victory over the Kansas City Royals at Fenway Park tonight.
It was the MJ Melendez show over the first few innings. Leading off the second, he hit a no-doubt shot out to deep right that put Kansas City up 1-0. Leading off the fourth, he went the other way and hit an extremely Fenway Park home run: a flyball 30 degrees off the bat that just barely cleared the monster.
