Salvador Perez's leadoff homer in the fourth inning ignited a four-run surge against Carlos Rodón, propelling the Kansas City Royals to a 4-2 victory over the New York Yankees on Monday night, evening the AL Division Series at one game apiece.
Following an uneven four-inning outing by Cole Ragans, the Royals' bullpen effectively shut down the Yankees. Tommy Pham, Garrett Hampson, and Maikel Garcia contributed with RBI singles, with Garcia impressively collecting four hits in the game.
