Salvador Perez hit a go-ahead, three-run homer in the sixth inning Tuesday night, giving him 43 on the season and the big league lead in RBI, and the Kansas City Royals rallied from a six-run deficit for a 10-7 victory over Oakland.
Kyle Isbel hit his first career homer and Hunter Dozier also went deep, but the star was the Royals’ good-natured, power-hitting catcher. Perez finished with four RBI.
LHP Mike Minor (8-12, 5.05) will pitch for Kansas City tonight at 7:10.
Royals owner John Sherman announced Tuesday the club was discussing future stadium options that could include a new downtown ballpark. The club’s lease on 53-year-old Kauffman Stadium expires in 2031.
