Mondesi hit his third triple of the season on the first pitch he saw from reliever Matt Barnes. Statcast™ projected that it traveled 406 feet, making it the first ball Mondesi has hit over 400 feet in the Majors.

The blast rolled into the deepest part of Fenway Park, in right-center field. Mondesi made it home to third in 11.2 seconds, the fourth fastest time by a Royals player this season. Jarrod Dyson has the quickest time at 10.9 seconds. Mondesi had an 11-second time earlier this season.

Alcides Escobar, Cheslor Cuthbert and Lorenzo Cain added RBIs in the inning.
