George Scott extended his hitting spree and Tony Conigliaro homered as the Boston Red Sox lost 3-2 to Kansas City. Despite outhitting the A’s eight to six, three Red Sox infield errors and a passed ball produced three unearned KC runs in ten innings. Ozzie Chavarria scored the winning run after Boston catcher Mike Ryan dropped a third-strike, with Rico Petrocelli and George Smith misplays contributing. Conigliaro’s homer was his third of the season as Boston drops into a tie for last while searching for rest for the tiring slugger ahead of a Friday date with the Angels. Darrell Brandon took the loss in relief of Dick Stigman.
