DENVER — When it started to look like the Kansas City Royals’ road trip would come to a painfully bleak end amid a squandered a six-run lead, Salvador Perez delivered in crucial circumstances and saved the day in a wild game that featured no shortage of emotional swings.
Perez’s two-run single in the top of the ninth inning rescued the Royals as they escaped with an 8-7 win over the Colorado Rockies in front of an announced 34,505 in the rubber match of a three-game series at Coors Field on Sunday afternoon.
With the victory, the Royals finished their road trip 4-5.
