Boston’s Kevin Youkilis legged out a grounder and beat a sweeping tag by Royals first baseman Billy Butler for one of the Red Sox’s three hits Friday night off Royals starter Brian Bannister.

BOSTON | Since the Royals still haven’t figured out how to score here against Boston lefty Jon Lester — hey, they did get a hit this time; four in fact — well, heartbreak is, eventually, almost inevitable. Dustin Pedroia supplied it Friday night with a two-out RBI double in the eighth inning that delivered the game’s only run in Boston’s 1-0 victory over Brian Bannister, who undoubtedly deserved better.
