(AP) — Brady Singer pitched out of a bases-loaded, nobody out jam in the third and finished with six strong innings to lead the Kansas City Royals to a 9-0 victory over the Boston Red Sox.
Singer won his fifth straight decision. He allowed five singles and a walk while striking out five. It was the second straight start without allowing a run for the 26-year-old College World Series champion from Florida.
MJ Melendez and Vinnie Pasquantino had three hits apiece for the Royals. Rich Hill took the loss for Boston.
The Royals take on the Red Sox again Sunday afternoon with first pitch at 12:35 central. Coverage begins at 12:00 on KFEQ Radio (680, 95.3) in St. Joseph.
