Salvador Perez\u2019s two-run shot tied the Royals\u2019 all-time franchise home run record and highlighted a five-run seventh inning as Kansas City rallied to sweep a three-game home series over the San Francisco Giants with a 5-4 win Wednesday. <\/p>\n

Kansas City managed just two hits against San Francisco starter Landen Roupp through six innings, when it trailed 3-0. However, Vinnie Pasquantino opened the bottom of the seventh with a double, where he was deemed to be pushed off second base by San Francisco\u2019s Willy Adames on the tag. Giants manager Tony Vitello was ejected after arguing the call.<\/p>\n

Perez then followed by matching George Brett\u2019s club record of 317 home runs, ending Roupp\u2019s day with a 437-foot drive that landed into the fountains over the right-center-field wall. Perez took a curtain call, and the milestone ignited a rally that would help the Royals complete a 5-1 homestand. <\/p>\n

Kansas City starter Seth Lugo (4-6) allowed three runs, three hits and two walks over seven innings, while Steven Cruz overcame yielding Casey Schmitt\u2019s solo homer in the ninth for his first career save. <\/p>\n

Following Perez\u2019s homer, San Francisco\u2019s Sam Hentges (1-3) replaced Roupp. Hentges threw wildly to first on an infield single by Michael Massey, who eventually scored the tying run when pinch hitter Nick Loftin dropped a single into left off Keaton Winn. The Royals loaded the bases with two outs, and Lane Thomas delivered a tiebreaking two-run single to right-center field for a 5-3 lead. <\/p>\n

Lugo allowed just a Rafael Devers\u2019 double through the first five innings. Meanwhile, Roupp surrendered only a third-inning bunt single to Andrew Velazquez in the same span. <\/p>\n

Lugo walked Adames to open the sixth, then hit Drew Gilbert. Both runners advanced on Drew Cavanaugh\u2019s sacrifice bunt, and Adames scored via Luis Arraez\u2019s flyout to center. <\/p>\n

The Giants added on in the seventh. Devers drew a one-out walk, then after Schmitt struck out, he scored from first on Jung Hoo Lee\u2019s double. Adames followed with a run-scoring ground-rule double to make it 3-0.<\/p>\n

Roupp was charged with two runs, while striking out seven, in six innings as the Giants lost their fifth straight contest. <\/p>\n

The Royals placed All-Star shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. (lower back tightness) on the 10-day injured list for the first time in his five-year career.<\/p>\n
