Pittsburgh Pirates Extend Losing Streak to Six Against Kansas City Royals

The Kansas City Royals completed a three-game sweep over the Pittsburgh Pirates with a 4-3 victory on Wednesday, highlighted by Salvador Perez's two home runs and Jac Caglianone's record-setting 466-foot homer, the longest by a Royals rookie since 2015. Perez's eighth-inning homer broke a 3-3 tie and marked his second multi-homer game of the season, extending his franchise record. The Royals have won six of their last seven games, hitting nine homers in the series and achieving consecutive multi-homer games for the first time this season. Meanwhile, the Pirates, who are struggling with a six-game losing streak, saw notable contributions from Ke'Bryan Hayes and Oneil Cruz, but were unable to overcome the Royals' power hitting. The Royals also recently signed former Cy Young winner Dallas Keuchel to a minor league deal, hoping for a potential major league return. The teams are set to continue their seasons with the Royals hosting the New York Mets and the Pirates traveling to face the Minnesota Twins.
