Lorenzo Cain fell victim to the rare Ninja Salvy Splash

The only thing hotter than the weather is Royals outfielder Lorenzo Cain.

Cain hit two home runs in the Royals’ 3-1 win over the Angels on Friday night, and his statistics in the month of June are staggering:

Average: .368

On-base percentage: .400

Slugging percentage: .825

On-base-plus slugging percentage: 1.225

Home runs: 8

RBIs: 16

Although teammate Salvador Perez doesn’t want Cain to cool off, Salvy did just that on Friday night. Cain thought he avoided a Salvy Splash, but Perez pulled a ninja move and came from behind.
