September 8, 2006 Red Sox 14, Royals 6
| If there is ever a way to try to get some much-needed wins late in the season, playing the 40 games below .500 Kansas City Royals would be it. What started out as a quick 3-0 Royals lead turned into a 14-6 laugher. A 6 run 3rd, a 3 run 6th and a 3 run 7th does most of the damage for the Sox. Jason Varitek falls a double shy of the cycle with a 3 for 4, 4 RBI day, Wily Mo Pena gets 2 doubles, and Coco Crisp scores 3 and knocks in 3 for just some of the highlights. Kevin Jarvis gets the win despite a lackluster start. The Sox get back to .500, but still more than 10 games back in both the division and the wild card. |

Jason Varitek hit a homerun and had 4 RBI as the Boston Red Sox defeated the
Kansas City Royals by a score of 14 to 6 at Fenway Park.
Varitek had a good evening at the plate. He banged out a single in the 2nd
inning, tripled scoring two baserunners in the 6th inning and cracked a solo
homerun (his 12th of the season) in the 8th inning. For the game Boston
out-hit Kansas City 16 to 12.
Kevin Jarvis(4-4) allowed 5 runs in 5 and 2/3 innings, and picked up the
victory. The losing pitcher was Odalis Perez(6-6). He got hit hard, allowing
7 hits and 2 walks in 2 innings.
Boston now has a record of 70-71. Still in a bad slump, with this loss,
Kansas City is 2-8 lately and 51-91, worst in the division on the year.
