Salvador Perez hit a two-run homer in a loss for the Royals on Wednesday to the Yankees.
Perez hit a two-run homer off Mark Leiter Jr. in the ninth inning, but the Royals still trailed by four runs after that dinger. He’s homered six times in 2025, and two of those have come in the month of June.
Devin Williams recorded the final two outs to get a save against the Royals on Wednesday.
Kris Bubic gave up five runs while working 4 1/3 innings in Wednesday’s loss to the Yankees.
Clarke Schmidt held the Royals to just two hits while striking out seven over six scoreless innings to get a win Wednesday for the Yankees.
Aaron Judge homered and walked while helping the Yankees to a 6-3 win over the Royals on Wednesday.
The Minnesota Star Tribune’s Phil Miller reports the Twins are trading reliever Jorge Alcala to the Red Sox.
MassLive.com’s Chris Cotillo reports minor league infielder Andy Lugo is headed to Minnesota in the deal. Alcala has struggled to an inflated 8.88 ERA across 24 1/3 innings (22 appearances) this season for Minnesota and the club has decided to move on. The Red Sox are willing to roll the dice that they can get him back to the form he displayed last year when he compiled a strong 3.24 ERA with 58 punchouts over 58 1/3 innings (54 appearances). It’s a relatively low-risk deal for Boston as they’re currently without key relievers Justin Slaten and Liam Hendriks due to injuries.
