Salvador Perez News: Collects three hits

Perez went 3-for-5 with a two-run home run and a double during Wednesday's 8-4 win over the Giants.

Perez fell a triple shy of hitting for the cycle, including a fourth-inning homer off Logan Webb to put the Royals up 6-1. The catcher's long ball was his first since April 13, a shockingly long drought for the power-hitting backstop, who hit 121 combined homers in the previous four seasons. In 199 plate appearances this year, Perez is slashing .223/.258/.346 with three home runs, 14 doubles and 23 RBI.
