Perez has massive night vs. Yankees
Salvador Perez went 4-for-4 with a solo home run and three RBI against the Yankees on Monday. Perez’ home run was his 26th of the year. He hit a solo shot off Carlos Rodon in the third inning. Perez also had RBI singles in the first and fifth innings. He had a rough night behind the plate with two throwing errors, including one that directly lead to a run when he misfired as Jasson Dominguez stole third base. Perez was stellar at the plate, though. He’s hitting .275 with an .809 OPS and 98 RBI on the year.
Dominquez steals a base in loss
Jasson Dominguez went 1-for-4 with a run scored and a stolen base against the Royals on Monday. Dominguez scored after stealing third base and a Salvador Perez throwing error allowed him to score. He hit sixth and played centerfield, which is likely to continue. It wasn’t a huge game for Dominguez, but he’s an explosive player and he showed that with the steal of third base. He has to be rostered in all formats going forward.

Take New York. Marcus Stroman has been steady over his last five starts. He’s 3-2 with a 3.71 ERA over that span, averaging 5 1/3 innings over that span. He also allowed 2.2 runs per game and zero home runs over his last five outings. On the other side, Seth Lugo has struggled.
