Catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia slammed 2 homeruns and had 3 RBI and Josh
Beckett had a strong outing as the Boston Redsox bested the Kansas City
Royals 4 to 2 at Fenway Park.
 
Saltalamacchia had a good day at the plate. He smashed a bases-empty 'big-fly'
in the 3rd inning and lifted one out of the park for a two run home run in
the 7th inning.  Boston banged out 7 hits on the afternoon.  
 
Beckett(2-2) lasted until the end allowing 2 runs for the win. Luke
Hochevar(2-2) absorbed the loss.  'Beckett pitched a gem of a game', Lee
Michaels recounted.  'He kept our batters off balance the entire game.'
