Hours after the Boston Celtics rebounded from a frustrating loss – two, in fact – with a 115-93 win over the New York Knicks, the Red Sox did the same. Whereas Friday night’s series opener in Kansas City was a scoreless stalemate until the 11th,

The lead held from there. John Schreiber, Steven Cruz, Daniel Lynch and Carlos Estevez each pitched a scoreless inning; the four scoreless innings mean that KC’s bullpen, since April 24, has allowed just five earned runs in 39 2/3 innings — good for an MLB-best 1.15 ERA in that time. Estevez earned the save, his 10th of the season.

Kansas City added another run in the fifth inning when Kyle Isbel had a killer bunt single towards third base, beating the throw by half a step. India singled and Witt doubled to drive Isbel in and give the Royals a 2-0 lead.
