Royals’ Salvador Perez: Homers in third straight

Perez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday’s 6-4 loss to the Blue Jays.

He took Ross Stripling deep in the sixth inning, getting the Royals to within a run at 3-2, but it was as close as they got to tying things up. Perez has gone yard in three straight games and five times in the last seven, boosting his homer total on the season to 26 — one short of his career high — and fueling a .314/.364/.647 slash line since the All-Star break.
