SAN DIEGO — Kansas City Royals stars Eric Hosmer and Salvador Perez would welcome more games in San Diego, even though Petco Park is a spacious place for sluggers.
Hosmer and Perez hit home runs as part of a nine-run eighth inning that also included Lorenzo Cain's grand slam, sending the Royals to a 12-6 victory Saturday over the San Diego Padres.
Cain homered twice, and Alcides Escobar hit his first home run of the year as the Royals hit five home runs for the first time since July 23, 2003, at Minnesota.
At the All-Star Game last year in San Diego, Hosmer and Perez homered in the first inning.
