KANSAS CITY— Mookie Betts came within a single of hitting for the cycle, the Red Sox pounded out 16 hits and Wade Miley served up six scoreless innings in a 13-2 Father’s Day blowout of the Royals on Sunday afternoon.Betts doubled, homered and tripled, giving him nine hits in the series in 14 at-bats.“He’s a special player,” Red Sox manager John Farrell said. “He can beat out an infield base hit, he can put down a bunt for a base hit, drive the ball out of the ballpark. It’s a pretty special talent.
