Perez tags Giles, Royals beat Astros 4-2 (Yahoo Sports)

Salvador Perez tagged Houston reliever Ken Giles for a tiebreaking two-run homer in the eighth inning, lifting the Kansas City Royals over the Houston Astros 4-2 Wednesday night. The World Series champion Royals have taken two of the three from the team they beat in the decisive Game 5 of the AL Division Series last October. Giles (0-1) retired the first two batters in the eighth before walking Alex Gordon on a full count.
