Dennis Leonard pitched a four-hitter and Willie Wilson raced out his fourth inside-the-park homer of the year to lift the Royals to a 1-0 victory over the Red Sox. Wilson, leading off in the first inning against Mike Torrez, lashed a drive down the left field line and circled bases when the ball got past Jim Rice.
