Salvador Perez smacked 2 homeruns and had 3 RBI as the Kansas City Royals beat
the Detroit Tigers by a score of 9 to 8.
 
Perez was really in 'the zone'.  He popped a two-run clout over the fence in
the 1st inning, doubled in the 3rd inning, doubled in the 4th inning and
clubbed a solo home run in the 7th inning.  Detroit threatened in the 9th but
their rally came up short.  
 
Kelvin Herrera(1-2) was the winner allowing 1 run in 2 innings. Greg Holland
recorded the save, his 2nd.  Phil Coke(0-1) was the loser in relief.  
 
'I've spent a lot of time in the cage and made some adjustments and they've
paid off,' Perez said. 'I just take the same approach up there. I don't
overanalyze it. I go up there, see the ball and try to put a good swing on
it.'
