Recap

Salvador Perez now stands alone among royalty. Three days after tying George Brett’s franchise record for most home runs in Royals history with his 317th home run, Perez hit his 318th career homer on Saturday afternoon against the Tigers at Comerica Park and took sole possession of Kansas City’s home run record. Of course, he did it in only the way Salvy can: He got the Royals back into the game. Down one run in the top of the seventh inning, Perez hit a slider from Tigers reliever Kyle Finnegan a Statcast-projected 401 feet out to left field for the record-breaking milestone home run, the game-tying blast in the Royals’ eventual 3-2 win. “I always say,” Perez said with his signature grin, “it’s better when we win the game.” * Each team's all-time home run leader
