导出博客文章BOSTON -- August continues to be kind to the Kansas City Royals.Eric Hosmer and
Alex Gordon homered, and Ian Kennedy allowed one run through five innings as the
Kansas City Royals continued their monthlong hot streak with a 6-3 victory over
the Boston Red Sox on Friday night.Kansas City has won 11 of its last 12 games
and is 18-6 in August.Hosmer homered for the second time this season off Red Sox
knuckleballer Steven Wright (13-6), who took the loss in his first game back off
the disabled list with a right shoulder strain, giving up five runs and seven
hits.Honestly, you just have to swing hard and hope the ball doesnt break. But
if it does, it breaks into your bat, Hosmer said.Kennedy (9-9) had a chance set
a club record by allowing one or fewer runs in six straight outings of at least
six innings. But he left with a runner on after 5 1/3 innings and wound up
charged for two earned runs in the game. He finished with nine strikeouts.Kelvin
Herrera earned his 10th save.Lorenzo Cain added a solo homer in the eighth
inning.Wright lost despite going at least six innings for the 10th time in 15
starts. Before Friday he had not allowed more than one home run in any of his
previous 26 starts, which was the fourth-longest active streak in the majors. It
also had been the longest by a Red Sox pitcher since Pedro Martinez did it over
44 starts.I had a little bit of a feeling with Steven Wright being on the DL and
not pitching, that knuckleball is a feel pitch, Royals manager Ned Yost said. My
thought was `Maybe its going to take him an inning or two to settle in. I was
right.Mookie Betts had five hits and two RBI for the Red Sox. Dustin Pedroia
added four hits and an RBI.Thats just how it goes sometimes, Betts said.
Sometimes we score the ones were not expecting and then when we you need to
score, sometimes it just doesnt happen.The Royals jumped on Wright at the
outset, taking a 5-0 lead in the first inning on a three-run shot by Hosmer,
followed quickly by a two-run blast by Gordon.Boston had three hits and got one
run back in its half of first. It had a chance to add more after loading the
bases with one out, but the potential rally stalled when Sandy Leon and Jackie
Bradley, Jr. both struck out.TRAINERS ROOMRoyals: RHP Wade Davis (right flexor
strain) is expected to throw for Triple-A Omaha on Saturday, and then possibly
again on Monday. Yost said he doesnt anticipate him returning before Sept. 1.Red
Sox: Rookie LF Andrew Benintendi went through another series of tests Friday
which reaffirmed the original diagnosis of no structural damage to his sprained
left knee. He was hurt during Bostons loss to the Rays Wednesday night.
Benintendi was walking around the clubhouse with no brace Friday. Obviously its
something you dont plan on, he said. Its unfortunate that it happened and Im
just going to try to get as healthy as possible as quickly as I can. ... RHP
Koji Uehara, who has been on the DL since July 20 with right pectoral sprain,
threw a bullpen session Friday.STREAK ENDSKansas Citys bullpen extended its
scoreless streak to 41 1/3 innings pitching before allowing a run in the ninth
inning. It was the longest streak in the majors since the Kansas City As went 44
innings in 1966.OLYMPIC HOMECOMINGNeedham, Massachusetts native and Olympic
medalist Aly Raisman began her homecoming tour Friday by throwing out the first
pitch before the game.Raisman won her second Olympic gold medal as a member of
the U.S. womens gymnastics team in Rio, as well as two silver medals in the
womens individual all-around and floor exercise.Before tossing her pitch,
Raisman took off the medals she was wearing and let David Ortiz wear them while
he caught for her.UP NEXTRoyals: LHP Danny Duffy (11-1, 2.66 ERA) will make his
20th start of the season and 100th of his career on Saturday. He earned his 10th
straight win in Kansas Citys 2-1 win over Minnesota on Sunday, holding the Twins
to one run and eight hits. His next strikeout will be the 500th of his
career.Red Sox: LHP David Price (12-8, 4.00) leads the majors with nine starts
of at least eight innings this season. His 2.01 career ERA against the Royals is
the third-lowest among active pitchers.---Follow Kyle Hightower on Twitter at
