Royals Overcome Blue Jays in Rain-Delayed Game, Marsh Sidelined with Injury

Salvador Perez's early homer and strong bullpen performance secure Royals' victory as pitcher Alec Marsh exits with forearm contusion.

Salvador Perez hit a decisive two-run homer in the first inning, leading the Royals to a 2-1 victory over the Blue Jays in a game shortened by rain.
The game experienced a significant delay of over three hours due to rain, with multiple attempts to continue before it was finally called off.
Royals' pitcher Alec Marsh was struck by a line drive, resulting in a forearm contusion that led to his early exit from the game.
The Royals' bullpen, including James McArthur who earned his sixth save, held off the Blue Jays late in the game.
Following Marsh's injury, the Royals recalled pitcher Will Klein from Triple-A Omaha to fill the roster spot.
