Salvador Perez Doubles, Scores in Royals' 7-5 Loss to Tigers

Even with his double against the Tigers, Perez's season average remains at .222, a reflection of his ongoing challenge at the plate. His on-base percentage of .260 also underscores the difficulty he's had in reaching base consistently, though the recent walk may signal a slight uptick in patience at the plate.

Over the last 10 games, Perez's performance has seen a modest rise, batting .243 with an OPS of .733, showing some power with two home runs. His recent road struggles continue, however, with a .174 average away from home, suggesting a need for improvement when not playing at Kauffman Stadium.
