Kansas City Royals ’ Michael Massey celebrates as he crosses the plate after hitting a solo home run during the second inning of a baseball game against the Detroit Tigers Monday, May 20, 2024, in Kansas City, Mo. Kansas City Royals ’ Vinnie Pasquantin runs to home after a throwing error by Detroit Tigers catcher Jake Rogers during the third inning of a baseball game Monday, May 20, 2024, in Kansas City, Mo.
“The home run was 95 , down and in,” Royals manager Matt Quatraro said. “He wouldn’t have been looking there on a 3-2 pitch, but he was able to get the barrel to it. He’s just in a good spot and seeing the ball well.” After a few warmup pitches, Olson exited with a right hip contusion. He threw 2 2/3 innings, allowing the two runs and five hits with one walk and two strikeouts.
“I was late on 3-1, after that I just tried to make adjustments,” Perez said. “I got a pitch around the middle and I hit it pretty good.”“It stems from being prepared,” said Massey, who doubled after Perez’s homer for his third hit. “You get a bunch of guys in a row that execute and you get those big innings.”
