In the ninth inning Jarren Duran crushed a three-run homer with a 106 mph exit velocity to put the Boston Red Sox up 6-1 over the Kansas City Royals. Isiah Kiner-Falefa collected his third hit of the game while Nick Sogard extended a five-game hitting streak, supplying Boston’s early offense. Reliever Garrett Whitlock struck out Lane Thomas on three pitches and retired the side on seven pitches. Duran’s late blast created a comfortable cushion for Boston’s bullpen and all but sealed the win in the closing innings.
