LOS ANGELES – A rough start to the Royals’ Southern California road trip turned worse as Salvador Perez left Wednesday night’s 4-2 loss to the Dodgers early due to right elbow aggravation.
Perez was hit by a 90.4 mph cutter in the elbow guard in the first inning, but stayed in the game until being removed in the sixth inning.
He nabbed Andy Pages at second base on a stolen base attempt in the third, and went 1-for-2 with an RBI single.
