Salvador Perez Launches His 43rd Home Run On Tuesday
3 years agoKansas City Royals catcher Salvador Perez went 2-for-5 with a home run, four RBI and two runs scored in the team's 10-7 win over the Oakland Athletics on Tuesday. The home run was his 43rd on the year. He is now third in the majors in home runs behind Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (45) and Shohei Ohtani (44). Perez was simply phenomenal in August when he blasted 12 home runs while posting a .998 OPS. It appears as if September will be more of the same for him as he already has five home runs this month to go along with a .558 slugging percentage.
