Kansas City Royals register standout performances from prospect and veteran

Venezuelan prospect Kendry Chourio, the top farmhand for the Kansas City Royals, helped his Class A+ team throw a combined no‑hitter, pitching five scoreless innings and striking out 10 batters.

Veteran catcher Salvador Pérez added to the Royals’ offensive surge by belting his 12th home run of the 2026 season in a 6‑1 win over the San Diego Padres at Kauffman Stadium. The blast gave Pérez his 315th career homer, moving him into a tie for 147th on the all‑time MLB list.
