Salvador Perez Keeps His Home Run Streak Intact
3 years agoKansas City Royals catcher Salvador Perez homered for the fifth consecutive game in Sunday's contest against the Seattle Mariners. He went 2-for-4 with two RBI overall in the game. He nearly had a second home run in the eighth inning when he hit a fly ball off the wall. Perez is absolutely on fire with 12 home runs in August and 38 home runs on the year. He has a .670 slugging percentage across the month. The Royals are off on Monday, then they head home for a pair of three-game series against the Cleveland Indians and Chicago White Sox. The team's previous 10 games were all on the road, so we'll see if Perez can stay hot in his home ballpark, where he's slashed .309/.352/.581 on the year.
