Why is it that the Royals always seem to end a good thing for the Red Sox? Don’t they know that they are just supposed to go through the motions an lose?
It looked like the Red Sox were going to continue to roll as they entered the fifth inning with a one run lead. After bringing back his old Hudini bases loaded escape in the fourth, Matsuzaka could not get away in the fifth. Here’s how his inning went: walk, stolen base, out, walk, single, walk, out, wild pitch, walk. The Royals scored three runs in the top of the inning.
Bill Hall hit a homer in the bottom of the fifth and the Red Sox tried to make a comeback but it was not to be.
