BOSTON — It was the kind of day at Fenway yesterday where the Red Sox brought back talk of Mo Vaughn and Bill Buckner, among others.

 There was fun all around as the Sox completed a perfect (7-0) homestand with an 11-8 victory over Kansas City.

 While pitching was the dominant story on the stand, this time it was offense carrying the load. The Sox slammed the Royals — twice. That is, as in two grand slams.

 After having only one slam this season (that by David Ortiz), J.D. Drew and Mike Lowell went for the daily double. The first was by Drew in the second inning, the second by  Lowell in the sixth.

 It was 10th time in team history that Boston has had two slams in one game, the first time since July 29, 2003. In that one, Bill Mueller had both, one from each side of the plate.

 It was the first time two different Sox players have had a slam in the same game since John Valentin and Mo Vaughn did it May 2, 1995. It was the first time at Fenway since Tony Armas and Bill Buckner did it Aug. 7, 1984. The feat has been done 72 times in major-league history. No team has ever had three in one game.

 Both blasts yesterday went over the wall although, as Drew pointed out, they were done differently.

 “Mikey had two outs when he had his,’’ Drew pointed out. “I could get away with a little more.’’

 Kansas City led, 1-0, when Drew came to the plate in the second after Manny Ramirez, Lowell and Kevin Youkilis had singled. There were no outs, so Drew said he was thinking about producing something, not necessarily a slam.

 “In that situation you can get away with a lot. A deep fly ball, base hit, a double, whatever,’’ he said “I was able to square a ball up and hit it over the green wall. It’s the best-case scenario.’’

 What made him feel better is that it came one pitch after he had fouled a ball off his foot. He had gotten ahead 2-1 before the foul ball.

 “I hit a changeup (from Royals starter Brian Bannister) off my foot. I walked around for a few minutes. I was able to get back in there. I got a sinking fastball on the outside corner and was able to put a nice swing on it,’’ he said.

 It was the fourth grand slam of his career.

 In the sixth, the Sox already had scored twice to up their lead to 7-3. Lefty reliever Jimmy Gobble had retired David Ortiz on a popup with one out and runners on second and third after a Dustin Pedroia double. The Royals opted to intentionally walk Ramirez. Ramirez is in a slump but no one debated that it was the wrong move.

 “You don’t want to change your approach,’’ Lowell said, “but it is nice to come through after they walk somebody.’’

 Lowell drove a 1-0 pitch over the Monster. It hit the light tower right near the sign with the 498 for Ramirez’s  home run count for the seventh slam of Lowell’s career. It was 11-3 and the Sox had a perfect homestand before heading out  to the West Coast.

 “It was just a great overall homestand,’’ Drew said. “We needed to win games after that last road trip. It was nice to win seven.’’
