Bob Stanley gave up just two hits while pitching five innings of scoreless relief as the Red Sox won their eighth straight game, downing the Royals, 7-5. The Sox broke a 5-5 tie in the fifth inning when Jim Rice scored as Glenn Hoffman bounced into a double play. A single by Rich Gedman drove in Boston's run in the eighth. [The Sporting News]
