Salvy hit career home run #300 on Saturday<\/a>, putting him in elite company.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve talked quite a bit about the respect that he\u2019s earned around the league and from the players,\u201d manager Matt Quatraro said. \u201cYou see it night in and night out. It\u2019s really cool. The way he handles things, the way he respects other people as well. He does everything the right way\u2026.<\/p>\n

Perez\u2019s swing off Phillies starter Taijuan Walker in the third inning put him on a list with seven other catchers to have hit 300 home runs: Hall of Famers Mike Piazza, Johnny Bench, Carlton Fisk, Yogi Berra, Gary Carter and Iv\u00e1n Rodr\u00edguez, as well as eight-time All-Star Lance Parrish, who is not in the Hall.<\/p>\n

Carlos Est\u00e9vez exited Sunday\u2019s game in the ninth inning<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s really mild back tightness, and he was having trouble getting loose a little bit,\u201d manager Matt Quatraro said. \u201cHe said he felt it right before he came out of the bullpen but didn\u2019t say anything, and just kind of noticed it after. Didn\u2019t want to cut it loose. But it\u2019s very mild. The exam was good, so we don\u2019t think it\u2019s going be anything.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ryan Bergert struggled on Saturday.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cYou know, it\u2019s tough. I thought my stuff was good,\u201d Royals starter Ryan Bergert said. \u201cI didn\u2019t have the command tonight and I didn\u2019t go too deep in the game, which I\u2019m kind of disappointed about. I feel like this clubhouse deserves a better start than that. You know, I\u2019m just trying to help out the bullpen.\u201d<\/p>\n

Overall, it was a tough road trip for the Royals<\/a>, writes Jaylon Thompson.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis road trip definitely hasn\u2019t gone the way we wanted,\u201d Caglianone said. \u201cSo to kind of go out on a high note and have a happy flight home, (we\u2019ll) go into the off-day to reset and get ready to roll. I think it\u2019s good.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Royals had an all-Missouri battery<\/a> on Sunday with Noah Cameron pitching to Carter Jensen.<\/p>\n

\u201cCarter was pretty good,\u201d Perez said. \u201cHe\u2019s one of the closest guys to the home plate. Maybe I have to copy that from him. His framing was pretty good today. He was doing a pretty good job and had a great plan. And I like him. I gotta be honest, he\u2019s the future of the Kansas City Royals.\u201d<\/p>\n
