BOSTON (AP) — The music was blaring in the clubhouse and Boston utility player Brock Holt was holding a microphone, acting like a DJ.

The defending World Series champion Red Sox were clearly ready to relax and have fun again.

Rick Porcello pitched six innings of one-run ball, Sam Travis hit a two-run homer and the Red Sox halted their eight-game losing streak with a 7-5 victory over the struggling Kansas City Royals on Monday night.

“That’s kind of where we need to be in general,” Porcello said. “Some pressure when you start losing, especially with the talented team we have. That’s kind of how we need to be every day, kind of relaxed and focus on the task in hand.”
