Salvador Perez is having a unicorn season

The Royals offense is weird. Since May 1, the Royals are sixth in the American League in runs scored. But nobody is really hitting. Vinnie Pasquantino has been hot, while Bobby Witt Jr and Salvador Perez have been hitting well if not unspectacularly. Aside from them, though, the other Kansas City starters have a combined 68 wRC+.

In May, Royals hitters have an 88 RC+. Someone could say their success scoring runs is unsustainable, and they’re probably right. There have been too many games where Kansas City’s offense is bailed out by one well-timed hit or inning (see: two nights ago).
