BOSTON (AP) — Bobby Witt Jr. and MJ Melendez each had solo home runs, Cole Ragans allowed one run over seven innings and the Kansas City Royals won their fourth straight, 6-1 over the Boston Red Sox. Adam Frazier, Vinnie Pasquantino and Salvador Perez all added RBIs for Kansas City, which opened the three-game series a game back of Boston for the AL’s final wild-card spot. It was the 16th homer of the season for Witt. Ragans (6-6) struck out seven and allowed four hits to earn his first victory since June 24 at Miami. Ceddanne Rafaela had an RBI for the Red Sox.
