The Kansas City Royals stormed into Fenway Park on Wednesday night and delivered a statement performance, dismantling the Boston Red Sox 7-3 behind a relentless offensive attack and clutch pitching. The Royals' bats came alive early, tagging Dustin May for three runs in just 3.2 innings, but it was Jonathan India who delivered the knockout blow—a towering two-run homer in the seventh that broke the game open. India finished with three RBIs, while Mike Yastrzemski set the table perfectly, reaching base three times in three at-bats and scoring twice. Kansas City's bullpen then slammed the door, with Carlos Estevez striking out two in a dominant ninth to seal the victory.

Boston's offense never found its rhythm, stranding runners in scoring position and managing just three runs despite 10 hits. Romy Gonzalez and Trevor Story each drove in runs, but the Red Sox bullpen unraveled late, with Jordan Hicks surrendering three runs in the seventh. The loss drops Boston further back in the playoff hunt, while the Royals—led by their opportunistic lineup and steady relief corps—continue to surge as a team no one wants to face down the stretch.
