KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) - Kansas City Royals star Salvador Perez was well overdue to slug his third home run of the 2025 season.
Perez, who hadn’t connected on a home run since April 13, finally hit one on Wednesday afternoon in the Royals’ 8-4 series finale victory over the San Francisco Giants.
The home run was the 276th of Perez’s career, moving him past former New York Yankees catcher Jorge Posada for the fifth-most home runs all-time in among AL catchers.
