Royals Roll, Perez Powers, Prospects Rise | Kansas City Royals News

The Royals are on fire, winning their eighth straight thanks to Michael Wacha’s stellar pitching and Salvador Perez’s clutch hustle — including his first stolen base in five years. Wacha’s 17 quality starts lead the AL, and manager Quatraro says solid pitching equals big wins. Meanwhile, top prospect Zion Rose smacked his first pro homer and swiped eight bases, showing speed even if power is still coming. Elsewhere, Craig Kimbrel notched his 441st save, J.J. Bleday hit for the cycle, and Randy Arozarena crushed a walk-off homer. Teams are also moving fast — Glasnow back with the Dodgers, Kelenic DFA’d by the Rangers — as baseball keeps delivering drama and momentum.
