Salvador Perez was 4-for-4 with a home run and three RBIs. Hunter Renfroe also homered, hitting his 13th of the year on a solo shot in the sixth inning. James McArthur was charged with the loss in relief and his seventh blown save after allowing four runs without recording an out. The Royals are second in the AL Central at 79-and-66.
