In a meeting of two injury-plagued pitchers, Nelson Briles gained his first victory of the season and Rick Wise went down to defeat as the Royals beat the Red Sox, 5-3. The Red Sox twice tied the score on homers by Rico Petrocelli and Cecil Cooper before the Royals broke a 3-3 deadlock with a run in the fourth inning on singles by Fran Healy, Fred Patek and Cookie Rojas. The Royals chased Wise in the fifth when Hal McRae doubled and John Mayberry walked. After Reggie Cleveland took over in relief, Tony Solaita singled to score McRae with an insurance run.
