Griffith has 3 hits to Ignite Royals Offense
Behind the hitting of Scott Griffith, the Kansas City Royals stopped the Boston Red Sox, 5-3. Griffith was 3 for 3 with a home run, a double, and a walk, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 3 for the Royals. Ryan Washington closed the door for Kansas City, picking up his 8th save of the year. The Royals are now 12-23.

R.J. Lower had a big 2-run double for the Royals in the bottom of the fourth inning. With Kansas City trailing 2-1 and runners on 1st and 2nd, he got a changeup from 32-year old right-handed pitcher Ivan Puentes and swatted a double to center. It was his 1st double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Royals ahead, 3-2.

"We were the better team," crowed Griffith.
