Stat of the day: Monday’s victory gave the Red Sox 13 wins in their past 14 games at Fenway Park.
Notes: Crochet is 1-1 with a 1.62 ERA in eight career appearances (two starts) against the Royals. He won at Kansas City on May 10 after throwing seven innings of one-run ball and striking out nine. … Bergert (1-0, 2.78) is scheduled to make his Royals debut. The rookie, who was acquired from the San Diego Padres just before the trade deadline last week, will be making his first career appearance against Boston. … Bergert made 11 appearances (seven starts) for the Padres this season, and he recorded 34 strikeouts in 35 2/3 innings. … After Kansas City scored four runs in the eighth to make it an 8-5 game on Monday, Nick Loftin ran through a stop sign and was thrown out at the plate for the final out of the inning. Had Loftin stayed at third, the Royals would have had the bases loaded with Vinnie Pasquantino, who homered earlier in the frame, at the plate.
