J.D. Drew and Mike Lowell both hit grandslams over the Green Monster while Daisuke Matsuzaka stayed perfect on the season improving his record to 8-0 as Boston beat the Kansas City Royals 11-8.
Boston completed the sweep of the seven game homestand behind Matsuzaka who gave up six hits, three earned runs, walked six, and struck out seven in 5 2/3’s innings of work.
Jonathan Papelbon notched his 14th save on 15 pitches after David Aardsma and Craig Hansen gave up a combined 5 earned runs in relief.
Star of the Game: Lowell
A 3-4 day at the plate where Lowell was short of hitting for the cycle, was missing the triple, deserves the nod for Star of the Game here.
