The Royals have won two straight games. Ordinarily, this would be unremarkable. But these are the 2022 Kansas City Royals and that’s only the fifth time in a little bit more than a third of the season that they’ve managed such meager heights. If they win again this evening it will be only the third time they’ve won three in a row. They have not won four in a row.
Helping to drive this winning spurt is Salvador Perez, the Royals’ catcher has slashed .276/.323./603/.926 in the month of June. That makes him the hottest hitter on the team and 44th in all of baseball.
