Salvador Perez fuels Royals to victory over Tigers

The Royals' all-star catcher had himself a night going 3-for-4 from the plate swatting his 16th home run of the year while driving in three runs in a 5-1 win against Justin Verlander and the Tigers.

What It Means:

Perez has a .249/.262/.425 slash line on the year with a .294 wOBA and a nERD of -0.74, which ranks fifth worst on the Royals. He is projected to hit six more bombs in the second half in addition to posting 3.41 fantasy score, which would rank 74th amongst position players during that time span.
