Red Sox Earn Clutch Win, 6-5
The Boston 2004 Red Sox downed the Kansas City 1977 Royals, 6-5. The hitting star was right fielder Gabe Kapler. Kapler went 3-4 with 2 doubles and a walk. He scored 2 times for the Red Sox. The winner was Lenny DiNardo in relief. His record improves to 1-0. Randy McGilberry took the loss. Keith Foulke sewed up the save, his 12th.

Whittier, California-born Nomar Garciaparra came through in the clutch. In the top of the ninth, with the bases loaded and the Red Sox trailing 5-4, he hit a 2-run single to right-center to put Boston 2004 on top.

"We found a way to get it done," Garciaparra said.

The win lifted the Boston 2004 record to 34-30.
