Royals mailbag: 140 games for Salvador Perez? When will Alex Gordon play day games?

MINNEAPOLIS

The Royals skidded out of The North Star State on Thursday evening on their first losing streak of the season, a two-game spell that cost them their first series in 2015. The team is still 7-2, of course, and confidence is high. They will host Oakland this weekend, and that should be an emotional series for Billy Butler.

But first, let’s answer some questions.

@McCulloughStar I know your crystal ball is usually out of order, but do you think Salvy starts more than 140 games at catcher this season?

In all likelihood, Salvador Perez won’t catch 140 games this year.
