American-League Baseball Roundup

Red Sox 2, Royals 1: Rookie Justin Masterson pitched 6 1/3 strong innings one day after Jon Lester's no-hitter against visiting Kansas City and Boston silenced the Royals' bats again last night.
Masterson (1-0) allowed one run on three hits in his second major-league start. Jonathan Papelbon ended a bases-loaded threat in the eighth by striking out Billy Butler and pitched a perfect ninth — with two more strikeouts — for his 13th save in 15 opportunities.
The Red Sox needed Masterson, 23, after a rainout Friday night forced them to play a doubleheader on Saturday. He was recalled yesterday from Class AA Portland. In his only other start, he allowed one run and two hits in six innings in a 7-5 win over the Los Angeles Angels on April 24, also at Fenway Park.
Boston won its fifth straight game, while Kansas City lost only the third of its past nine.
The Royals were scoreless for 17 straight innings before John Buck singled in a run against reliever Manny Delcarmen in the seventh, cutting the lead to 2-1.
But they wasted an excellent chance in the eighth when they loaded the bases with two outs against Hideki Okajima on a ground-rule double by David DeJesus and walks to Alex Gordon and Mark Teahen. Papelbon then came in and got Butler to swing and miss at a third strike.

Twins 11, Rangers 4: Glen Perkins pitched six scoreless innings for his first major-league win and Minnesota beat visiting Texas last night.
The Rangers lost their third in a row after Minnesota roughed up Texas starter Doug Mathis (1-1) for nine runs in 21/3 innings. Mathis made his first major-league start since the Rangers purchased his contract from Class AAAA Oklahoma on May 11 to replace the injured Kevin Millwood.
Alexi Casilla, Mike Lamb, and Delmon Young each had two RBIs.
