Wenceel Pérez hit a 76.5 mph changeup into the right-field seats in the eighth — his first home run of the year — and that one swing decided a game both starters pitched well enough to win. Seth Lugo gave Kansas City 6.2 innings of one-run baseball, striking out seven without a walk, and Jack Flaherty matched him with six innings of one-run, seven-strikeout ball. Eli Morgan took the loss on two hits and a walk in one inning of relief. The Royals left seven on base, and their only run came on Kyle Isbel's single in the fifth.
