Salvador Perez ignited a four-run rally with a homer in the fourth inning, leading the Kansas City Royals to a 4-2 victory over the New York Yankees, leveling the American League Division Series at one game each.

Four Royals relievers effectively contained the Yankees after starter Cole Ragans' four-inning outing. Notably, Tommy Pham, Garrett Hampson, and Maikel Garcia contributed with key hits, while Garcia had a standout performance with four hits.

Game 3 will take place in Kansas City, marking their first home playoff game since the 2015 World Series.
