## Resource

Salvador Perez just shattered history at Kauffman Stadium, launching his 137th home run there to eclipse George Brett’s all-time franchise record — and it came during a wild 14-6 Royals rout of the Cardinals, fueled by a season-high 17 hits. After a 16-game homer drought, Perez silenced doubters with a record-setting blast in the sixth inning, following a double to start a six-run second. The crowd erupted, giving him a standing ovation as he tipped his helmet before adding three more hits. Now just four homers shy of tying Brett’s 317, Perez is closing in on elite company — players like Trout and Machado who hold their team’s all-time home run mark. The offense exploded, giving the pitcher breathing room, even amid a brief Witt Jr. knee scare — proving the Royals can deliver when it matters most.
