Royals' rally for Kennedy comes up short

Kennedy (0-5) gave up five runs on four hits in three innings. Boyd lasted just 3 2/3 innings, surrendering four runs on seven hits in his fourth consecutive subpar start, but Saupold (1-0) delivered three scoreless innings of relief on one hit with eight consecutive groundouts for his second career Major League victory. Justin Wilson stranded the potential tying run in the ninth for his fifth save.
