Salvador Pérez celebrated the 10-year anniversary of his MLB debut in style:
On Aug. 10, 2011, Salvador Perez arrived with authority in his Major League debut, collecting his first hit and RBI while picking off two runners against Tampa Bay.
Ten years later, he’s still making a splash.
The veteran catcher homered twice during a three-hit night in the Royals’ 8-4 victory over the Yankees on Tuesday night at Kauffman Stadium. Not only did the night commemorate Perez’s anniversary, the homers were his 28th and 29th of the season — a career best after two seasons (2017 and ’18) of 27 homers.
