Red Sox Clip Royals, 3-2
In a low-scoring affair between the Boston Red Sox and the Kansas City Royals, pitcher Dick Ruthven was the difference between victory and defeat. The Boston right-hander earned accolades in the 3-2 Red Sox win. Boston reliever Bruce Sutter picked up the win, upping his record to 7-2. Orel Hershiser took the loss. Boston has 3 straight wins, Kansas City 7 straight losses.

Kevin Klettke was the walk-off hero for Boston. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Red Sox second baseman hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

"We fed off the energy of the crowd at the end," Ruthven said.
