Royals catcher Salvador Perez had one hit on Thursday, but it was good for his 14th home run of the season. Perez went 1 for 4 in the 8-3 win over the Rays, as he drilled a two-run blast in the sixth inning.
Perez has homered three times over his last 10 games, but he's batting just .200 with eight strikeouts compared to one walk over that stretch.
