His first double, in the fifth inning, was a key moment, driving in two runs that extended the Royals’ lead. This hit also moved him into sixth place on the franchise’s all-time hits list, surpassing Alex Gordon with his 1,644th hit.<\/p>\n\nIn the seventh inning, P\u00e9rez continued his offensive display with another double, the 600th extra-base hit of his career. With this achievement, he joins a select group of legends in Kansas City history.\n\n
It’s an honor to be on this list with such important players for this organization. But more than the numbers, I am happy because we helped the team achieve a victory that we needed very much.<\/p>Salvador P\u00e9rez<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\nThe captain closed out his outstanding performance with a simple producer in the ninth episode, adding his hit 1,646 and getting closer to the big names in Royals history.\nThe Kansas City offense, seeking to stay in contention for the Wild Card spots in the American League, showed greater dynamism after a less productive first game of the series. They scored from the first inning with a double by Jonathan India and a single by Maikel Garc\u00eda, adding two more runs in the second and taking definitive control in the fifth with P\u00e9rez’s hit.\nThe Royals’ pitching staff also did their part. Although starter Michael Lorenzen allowed three runs in less than five innings, the bullpen responded effectively.\nVictory is key for the team, who see in their captain, Salvador P\u00e9rez, the emotional and sporting guide to move forward.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
