The Beaneaters were facing Suitcase Bobby Seeds, the leading strikeout pitcher in the American League with 95 in 107.1 innings pitched so runs would seemingly be at a premium in this game. Seeds had a shaky first inning as well but escaped with out any runs scoring.
Seeds walked Boston lead-off hitter Tony Richardson and then allowed a single to Art Bradley with no outs. Seeds had the strikweout pitch going early, striking out Doug Rigney and Bobby Bishop then walking Jose Morales to fill the bases. Seeds made his escape by getting Rip Matuzak to ground out to shortstop Jason Denning.
Following the first inning both runners settle in and both had base runners but both kept the opposition off the scoreboard until the 6th inning when both let in runs.
Kansas City scored a run to increase their lead to 2-0 on walks to Elliott and Rogodzinski and a run scoring single by Dunning. Fred Javery became Kiester's fifth strikeout when he struck out swinging to end the inning.
Boston got to Seeds in the bottom of the 6th.
After Richardson had popped out to catcher March Elliott third baseman Norm Rogodzinki booted Art Bradley's ground ball for an errior th opened the doors for Boston.
Doug Rigney made Seeds pay with an RBI double that cut the lead to 2-1.
Bob Bishop launched his 14th homerun (fifth in six games) to put Boston in front 3-2.
Bishop is now second in homeruns in the AL, first in runs batted in with 47, 7th in batting with a .317 batting average, second in slugging; .562, 3rd in stolen bases; 17 6th in runs scored; 40. Other than that he hasn't done much.
Morales struck out for the second out but Rip Matuzak hit his 3rd homerun to increase the lead to 4-2.
Keister went eight innings for his second straight win since coming off the disabled list, striking out a season high 11 batters. Keister is now 4-2.
Seeds struck out 10 in the eight innings he pitched (8 hits 4 runs (2 earned) and 3 BB.
Boston is now 34-24 ten games over .500 having won seven of their last ten and six straight to pull to within two games behind New York and one ahead of third place Oakland.
