KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - David Ortiz homered and drove in four runs, and Josh Beckett allowed two runs over six innings to lift the Boston Red Sox to a 9-2 victory over the Kansas City Royals Wednesday night.
Jason Bay and Jacoby Ellsbury both drove in two runs and Ortiz had a run-scoring single in Boston's six-run fifth inning off Luke Hochevar (7-11). Ortiz added his 25th homer in the eighth, a three-run shot to give Boston 90 wins for the third consecutive
season.
Beckett (16-6) limited the damage from 12 hits with seven strikeouts, improving to 5-0 with a 2.03 ERA in seven career starts against Kansas City.
Yuniesky Betancourt had a run-scoring triple among his three hits for the Royals, who had their six-game home winning streak end.
