Maybe it was the heat, or the humidity that did
Steven Wright in last night
in the first inning—but more likely it was just the hot Kansas City bats. In any event, the game was pretty much over before most fans squeezed their 21st-century posteriors into Fenway's early 20th-century seats. Down 5-0 after one, Boston's offense again squandered
multiple opportunities to score on
Ian "Don't Call Me John Fitzgerald" Kennedy,
ultimately losing, 6-3. The 'highlights' of the night were
Mookie Betts recording the first 5-5 night of his career and
Dustin Pedroia getting four hits. But apparently
fifteen hits just isn't enough to push runs across—with the
The Carmine Hose leaving
twelve on base.
