For the second consecutive Tuesday, Salvador Perez hit two home runs. Unlike last week, though, the Kansas City Royals won! Perez had some help from Hunter Dozier, who slapped a dong of his own—his second in the last two games—and the Royals came out on top 4-3 against the Minnesota Twins.
The Royals had their first scoring chance immediately. After a routine Whit Merrifield groundout, Mike Matheny’s lineup switcheroo worked like a charm. Nicky Lopez—batting second tonight, after batting ninth until now—hit a single that he legged out for a double. Salvador Perez, hitting fourth, worked a walk from a 1-2 count, his first of the year.
