The Red Sox and Royals both post 10-hit performances, but the Red Sox do a much better job of stringing hits together and put up 4 runs to the Royals 1. The Royals weren't helped by the Red Sox defense, which turned 3 double plays. The go-ahead run in the 6th was scored by Manny Ramirez, who was knocked in on a double by new Sox face JD Drew.

Big Papi is still hitless on the new season, posting his 2nd straight 0 for 5 day.
