Royals Rumblings - News for July 13, 2021
Salvador Perez participated in the Home Run Derby last night, and was electric. He was unfortunately matched up against the freight train of Pete Alonso who managed to crush 35 (and then go on to win for the second straight crown, so you can’t get too angry).
Kansas City Royals All-Star and fan favorite Salvador Perez set a MLB Home Run Derby record for catchers but did not advance past the first round Monday night in Denver.
Perez, a seven-time All-Star selection and the American League’s starting catcher, crushed 28 home runs in the first round of the Home Run Derby at Coors Field.
