September 9, 2006 Red Sox 4, Royals 3
| Another 3-0 Royals lead turns into a Sox victory. All the scoring today came in the first two innings. KC got 3 runs in the first inning on Mike Sweeney's 3-run homer, but the Sox come right back with 3 of their own in the bottom of the first. Coco Crisp doubled, and scores on a single by Alex Gonzalez. Papi and Manny strike out for two outs, then with Youk at the plate he grounds what should be the third out to first baseman Ryan Shealy. Shealy muffs it to put runners on first and second. The error would prove costly to the Royals, as next batter Trot Nixon rips a double to score both Gonzalez and Youk to tie the game. In the Sox second, after Crisp and Gonzalez again get back to back hits (two singles this time), Papi's sac fly scores Crisp from third for the 4-3 Sox lead. That would prove to be the final, as neither team would score again. |

Coco Crisp had 2 base hits as the Boston Red Sox beat the slumping Kansas City
Royals by a score of 4 to 3.
Kansas City never recovered after Boston took the lead in the bottom of the
2nd inning plating an isolated run on 2 hits. That scoring would be all that
was needed. After the 2nd inning, neither team was able to score.
The victory went to Josh Beckett(10-12) who went 6 and 1/3 innings, allowing 3
runs. Jonathan Papelbon was credited with his 33rd save. Luke Hudson(2-4)
absorbed the loss.
