The Cardinals mustered a pulse offensively in the ninth inning with Harrison Baders two-run single..
Yadier Molina had 2 hits to reach 1,998 in his profession.
When they have a chance to improve to 3 wins above.500, the Cardinals slipped to 0-6.
Perez squashes 2 homers off Martinez, flings Royals to early 6-0 lead vs. Cardinals.
There wasnt much deceptiveness on Carlos Martinezs pitches and any motion they had came after leaving the bat if the range took a trip is any indicator.
That is where the game curdled for the Cardinals.
The Royals scored five in the bottom of the inning to vaporize any drama that may have been left in the video game. Martinez (0-3) allowed 8 runs on 9 hits and two walks.
Royals catcher Salvador Perez has two home runs in his first two at-bats to send out Kansas City to an early 6-0 lead at Kauffman Stadium.
Perezs homers have balanced 436 feet, approximated.
For the catcher its his 6th multi-homer video game and initially given that August 2018, and its his 3rd profession five-RBI game. His homer in the first inning was a two-run shot off Martinez on a slider that fluttered up in the zone, and the three-run shot in the third inning was on a changeup that alleviated down instead of biting.
