Kansas City Royals catcher Salvador Perez hit his 20th home run of the season in Sunday's 10-4 win over the Boston Red Sox, becoming the first player in Royals history to record multiple 20-homer seasons while primarily playing behind the plate, per ESPN Stats & Info.
Perez's milestone blast came in the second inning of Sunday's game, with the 26-year-old backstop taking Red Sox pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez over the Green Monster to give the Royals an early 1-0 lead.
Although the lead widened to 2-0 by the end of the frame, the Red Sox bounced back with four runs between the third and fourth innings before an eight-run fifth inning by the Royals eventually quieted them.
