Kansas City Royals star catcher Salvador Perez smashed a two-run home run in the third inning which provided the margin of victory as his club grabbed its ninth Cactus League win in 12 games this spring training Thursday.
Perez’s third home run of the spring drove in his team’s third and fourth runs of the game as the Royals defeated the Milwaukee Brewers 4-2 at American Family Fields of Phoenix. Perez went 1 for 3.
Ryan McBroom went 2 for 3 with an RBI triple and a run scored, while Erick Mejia went 1 for 2 with a sacrifice fly for the Royals (9-3).
