Witt Jr. Returns as Sal Breaks HR Record | MLB News

Bobby Witt Jr. made a triumphant return from injury, smashing three hits, scoring two runs, and turning a slick defensive play as the Royals crushed the Twins 8-2, led by Randy Dobnak’s strong five-inning outing. Meanwhile, Salvador Perez officially became the Royals’ all-time home run king, breaking George Brett’s legendary record in a heartfelt ceremony packed with over 20,000 fans — with Brett himself praising Sal as the perfect heir to the throne. Though Sal didn’t homer on Tuesday, his sacrifice fly gave KC an early edge as the offense exploded in the first and fifth innings. The team’s momentum continues as they prep for a special giveaway shirt before their Saturday showdown against the Cubs — a whirlwind week of milestones, returns, and roaring support.
