NEW YORK -- Salvador Perez homered leading off the fourth inning to spark a four-run rally against Carlos Rodón, and the Kansas City Royals beat the New York Yankees 4-2 on Monday night to even their AL Division Series at one game apiece.
Four relievers held New York in check after an inconsistent Cole Ragans lasted four innings. Tommy Pham, Garrett Hampson and Maikel Garcia singled in runs for the Royals.
Garcia, moved up from ninth to first in Kansas City's batting order, had four hits.
Game 3 in the best-of-five playoff is Wednesday night at Kansas City, the Royals' first postseason home game since the 2015 World Series.
