Red Sox Need Extra Innings to Top Royals, 5-4
Kansas City left fielder Chris Swauger had a terrific game, but it still wasn't enough to get his team a win. Swauger went 4-5 with a home run, a double, and 2 singles. He drove in 3 runs and scored once, even as Boston beat the Royals, 5-4, in 10 innings. Marcus Gwyn, credited with the save, is now 3 for 6 in save opportunities. Boston currently is in 4th place in the AL East Division at 38-53.

Orlando Pena was 1-4 with a walk for Boston. The 27-year old second baseman had a key at-bat in the top of the tenth. With one out and runners on 1st and 3rd, he broke a 4-4 tie with a run-scoring ground out off Joakim Soria. It was his 8th RBI of the season.

"Always feels extra good winning this kind of game," said Pena.
