KANSAS CITY, Mo. \u2014 Salvador Perez<\/a> tied the franchise home run record and Lane Thomas<\/a> hit a tiebreaking, two-run single in the seventh to lift the Kansas City Royals<\/a> to a 5-4 victory over the San Francisco Giants<\/a> on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Kansas City right-hander Seth Lugo<\/a> (4-6) held the Giants scoreless till the sixth inning, when he gave up a leadoff walk and hit the next batter. Runners advanced on a sacrifice bunt from Drew Cavanhaugh, and Luis Arraez<\/a> knocked the game\u2019s first run across with a sacrifice fly to center.<\/p>\n

The Giants struck again in the seventh with an RBI triple from Jung Hoo Lee<\/a> and RBI double from Willy Adames<\/a> to extend the lead. Lugo exited after the inning, giving up three hits and two walks. He also had five strikeouts.<\/p>\n

Vinnie Pasquantino<\/a> extended his hitting streak to 17 games with a double in the seventh inning. He was called safe after sliding past the bag. The call was confirmed and Giants manager Joey Vitello was ejected after arguing the call.<\/p>\n

On the next at bat, Perez hit his 14th home run of the season and 317th of his career to tie the Royals\u2019 franchise record. That signaled the end of right-hander Landen Roupp<\/a>\u2019s day. He allowed four hits and two runs and struck out seven.<\/p>\n

The Royals pieced together the tying run with three straight singles, the third coming from pinch hitter Nick Loftin<\/a>. The Royals loaded the bases with two outs and two scored on Thomas\u2019 single to right center.<\/p>\n

Royals closer Steven Cruz<\/a> gave up a two-out home run, but popped out the final batter to earn his first career save. San Francisco lefty Sam Hentges (1-3) took the loss.<\/p>\n
