Red Sox Defeat Royals 10-1, End Seven-Game Streak

The Boston Red Sox delivered strong performances in a recent series against the Kansas City Royals, highlighted by a 10-1 victory on Saturday and a 3-1 win on Sunday. Garrett Crochet was dominant on the mound Saturday, pitching seven innings with nine strikeouts and allowing only one run, improving his ERA to 1.93, while Rafael Devers went 4-for-4 with three RBIs, including a key double. The Red Sox offense was potent, featuring Trevor Story's three-run homer and Carlos Narvaez's two-run blast, as Boston collected 15 hits to snap the Royals' seven-game winning streak. On Sunday, Devers hit a pivotal 440-foot two-run homer that broke a 1-1 tie, and Lucas Giolito earned his first win since 2023 by pitching into the seventh inning. Despite the Royals' struggles, including limited extra-base hits and a tough outing by pitcher Cole Ragans, the team remains competitive in the AL Central. The series finale promises to be competitive, with Red Sox's Lucas Giolito set to face Royals' Seth Lugo.
