Boston at Kansas City 8:15 ET
Red Sox over Royals- A pair of clubs that started the season slowly are starting to get into the swing of things as Kansas City has won seven of their last eight and the Red Sox have won seven of their last 10. Boston's current run has them tied with New York for the AL East lead and will start rookie Hector Velazquez (1-1, 6.48 ERA) who is making his second career start. Kansas City will start Jason Hammel (3-6, 5.05) who is 1-3 with a 4.61 ERA in 13 career appearances against the Red Sox. Boston is just better and is beginning to put it together. Take the RED SOX!
