Amos Otis homered and scored three times to spark the Royals to an 8-4 victory over the Red Sox. After putting the Royals up 1-0 with a circuit clout in the second inning, Otis led off the fourth with a triple and scored on a single by U.L. Washington. He also walked and scored in the sixth on a bases-loaded double by Frank White. [The Sporting News]
