MINNEAPOLIS -- Royals All-Star catcher Salvador Perez exited Tuesday night's game after getting hit on the right arm by a 92-mph fastball from Twins starter Ervin Santana.
Leading off the seventh inning with the Royals trailing, 3-2, Perez took a half-swing at Santana's 1-0 offering, which hit Perez on the inside of his right arm, near the wrist area. Perez immediately doubled over in pain and was removed from the game after being examined by trainers.
