BOSTON -- Dustin Pedroia came to the plate in the eighth inning knowing he had some sort of special streak going.He just wasnt exactly sure how historic it was.Pedroia had four hits to extend his streak to 11 straight at-bats before bouncing into a double play with a chance to tie the major-league record, and the Boston Red Sox beat the Kansas City Royals 8-3 on Saturday night.I heard something, said Pedroia, the 2008 AL MVP. I didnt know what it was. I was going to the bathroom and heard them say it on TV.Pedroias streak, which stretched over three games, ended in the eighth inning.

I mean 4 for 4 last night, 4 for 5 tonight. He had a real hot streak and whats amazing to me is he keeps his bat in the zone for so long he can handle so many pitches. Just a really good hitter. Ive always thought that about him though.Duffy had allowed two or fewer runs in five straight starts -- and six of seven -- before Boston took care of that string with two each in the first and second innings.Two batters in, the Red Sox jumped ahead 2-0 on Bogaerts 16th homer, a drive that completely left Fenway Park over the Green Monster after Pedroia singled.In the bottom of the second after the Royals had tied it, Jackie Bradley Jr. and Pedroia had consecutive RBI doubles, pushing Boston in front 4-2.Perez homered and Alcides Escobar had an RBI double in the top of the inning.Pedroia collected his 10th consecutive hit with a run-scoring single to make it 5-2 in the fourth. His 11th was a ground single to center in the sixth. He then bounced into the double play in the eighth.Betts hit his 29th, a solo shot, in the fifth and Ramirez followed with his two pitches later to nearly the same spot, two rows into the Monster seats about three fans apart. After watching Ramirezs drive land in the seats, Duffy just smiled in disbelief as he waited for a new ball from home plate umpire Adrian Johnson.TRAINERS ROOMRoyals: RHP Wade Davis (flexor strain), LHP Jason Vargas (recovering from Tommy John surgery) and RHP Kris Medlen (right rotator cuff inflammation) were all expected to pitch for Triple-A Omaha on Saturday.Red Sox: Manager John Farrell said RHP Koji Uehara (strained chest muscle) threw 53 pitches with good intensity in a bullpen session on Friday and hes expected to throw again Monday. ...
