Kansas City Royals catcher Salvador Pérez ties a Royals franchise home run record with his 317th career homer as the Royals defeat the San Francisco Giants 5-4. The game is decided late, with Lane Thomas delivering the key go-ahead hit. In the seventh inning, Thomas hits a tiebreaking, two-run single that gives Kansas City the lead it holds to the final score. Pérez’s home run matches the franchise mark previously set by another Royals player, making him the team’s co-holder of the record. After Thomas’s two-run knock, the Royals keep the Giants from scoring again, closing out the win in a close, one-run finish. Multiple reports describe Pérez’s record-tying homer and Thomas’s seventh-inning go-ahead RBI single as the central moments of the game, with the Royals ultimately overcoming a tight scoreline to secure the victory.
