Perez Mashes 2 Homers in 14-11 Kansas City Win
Kansas City catcher Salvador Perez was instrumental in helping the Royals triumph, 14-11, over the Oakland Athletics. Perez hit 2 home runs, while scoring 3 runs and driving in 6. Drew Rom earned the win after being summoned from the bullpen. The left-hander allowed 2 runs on 2 hits in 2.2 innings. He upped his record to 2-2. Aroldis Chapman closed out the game, earning his 11th save.

With Kansas City leading 12-11 in the top of the eighth, Perez hit a slider from Scott Barlow for a 2-run home run. It was his 10th home run of the season and put the Royals ahead, 14-11.

"I'm just looking for a good pitch that I can hit well," said Perez. "And not try to do too much."

The second-place Royals have won 4 in a row.
