Royals rally past Tribe on Salvy’s clutch homer
Salvador Perez played the hero with a go-ahead two-run home run with two out in the seventh inning off Indians reliever Andrew Miller as the Royals rallied in the series opener. After a rocky outing by starter Jason Hammel, the Royals’ bullpen was able to right the ship, as Tim Hill, Burch Smith and Brad Keller stymied the Tribe’s offense. Michael Brantley hit his second grand slam, while Jose Ramirez and Yonder Alonso also homered for Cleveland.
