Royals Bang Out 10-4 Win Versus Boston
Getting a good performance from left fielder Rick Reichardt, the Kansas City Royals defeated the Boston Red Sox, 10-4. Reichardt was 3-4 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk, while scoring 2 times and driving in 2 for the Royals. The winner was Kansas City reliever Bryan Rekar, now 2-7. The loser was Jaret Wright. The Royals saw their win-loss record go to 28-46. At the same time, the Red Sox fell to 36-38.

Kansas City used the timely hitting of Dave Nelson to seize the win. The third baseman stroked a 2-run single in the top of the second inning to put the Royals on top, 3-0. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"I'm just looking for a good pitch that I can hit well," said Nelson. "And not try to do too much."
