Perez homers twice, Witt goes deep in hometown for 1st time as Royals beat Rangers 6-1

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Salvador Perez homered twice, Bobby Witt Jr. went deep in his hometown team’s ballpark for the first time and the Kansas City Royals stopped a six-game losing streak with a 6-1 victory over the Texas Rangers on Tuesday night.

Seth Lugo struck out a season-high nine for his first win since May 1 as all three active Kansas City All-Stars from last year’s Midsummer Classic at Globe Life Field returned to Texas and had a hand in ending the team’s five-game skid against the Rangers.
