Red Sox Notes: Disastrous Sixth Inning Turns Tide For Boston In Loss To Royals
BOSTON — The Red Sox were riding high going into the sixth inning against the Kansas City Royals on Sunday.

They also lost both third baseman Pablo Sandoval and catcher Blake Swihart to injuries amid their meltdown, which fittingly was capped by David Ortiz being ejected in the seventh inning after arguing balls and strikes with
