Salvador Perez's fourth-inning homer ignited a four-run rally for the Kansas City Royals, leading them to a 4-2 victory over the New York Yankees, leveling their AL Division Series at one game each.

Four Royals relievers effectively shut down the Yankees after Cole Ragans' four-inning outing. Tommy Pham, Garrett Hampson, and Maikel Garcia contributed with key hits, while Garcia notably had four hits in the game.

Game 3 will be the Royals' first postseason home game since 2015, and the Yankees struggled with runners in scoring position, going 1 for 6 during the game.
