ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Salvador Perez got the pitcher and the pitch he wanted in the seventh inning Tuesday night, and he hit a two-run home run that carried the Kansas City Royals to a 3-2 win over the Tampa Bay Rays.With the Royals down 2-1, Perez faced left-hander Xavier Cedeno with one out and Eric Hosmer on first base.Yes, I did (expect to face a right-hander). I dont why he left (Cedeno) in, but Ill take it, said Perez, who hit his 16th homer.Rays manager Kevin Cash brought in right-hander Kevin Jepsen two batters later, but it proved to be too late.Thats probably a decision that Ill lose a little sleep over tonight, for sure, Cash said.The Royals won a second straight game for the first time since the end of June, but they are still 10 games behind first-place Cleveland in the AL Central.Were just coming out here trying to do everything we can do to win each game, Perez said. Whatever happens is going to happen, and we need to focus every day, and not worry about what happened yesterday.Chris Young (3-8) got the win in relief and Kelvin Herrera pitched the ninth for his third save. The Royals also got two big strikeouts with runners on base from left-hander Matt Strahm in his second major league appearance.Strahm was called up from Double-A Northwest Arkansas on Sunday after Kansas City placed Wade Davis on the disabled list with a flexor strain.With Wade being down, its kind of audition time here now, manager Ned Yost said. Its about opportunity, man. Take advantage of it.The Rays scored twice in the fifth off starter Yordano Ventura without hitting the ball to the outfield. Logan Forsythe walked and later scored on Kevin Kiermaiers bunt single. After Brad Millers infield single, Desmond Jennings scored Kiermaier with a groundout to shortstop.Forsythe had three hits for the Rays, who left 11 on base and went 1 for 14 with runners in scoring position.Ventura pitched five innings, giving up two runs, six hits and four walks.Rays starter Matt Andriese pitched four innings in his first start since June 25, giving up one run on three hits while striking out three. Andriese returned to the rotation following Mondays trade of Matt Moore to the San Francisco Giants.Perez has 20 RBI in his last 20 games and a 14-game hitting streak against Tampa Bay, a team the Royals have beaten 12 times in their last 13 meetings. He hit a go-ahead homer in the seventh inning or later for the sixth time in his career and the third time this season.DISAPPOINTED LONGOTampa Bay slugger Evan Longoria said it was disappointing to see Moore, INF Steve Pearce and OF Brandon Guyer traded in separate deals Monday that netted SS Matt Duffy from San Francisco and five prospects.You see three guys like those three guys leave sometimes its a little tough to stomach, Longoria said. Well move forward and hopefully the guys we got in return will be the players that we expect.TRAINERS ROOMRoyals: RHP Luke Hochevar had season-ending surgery to relieve thoracic outlet syndrome.

The Brazilian goalkeeper signed a loan deal with the Major League Soccer club on Friday as he looks to get playing time ahead of this summers World Cup in his home country.Alex Lozowski marked his England elite player squad call-up by scoring two tries as Saracens inflicted a fifth successive Aviva Premiership defeat of the season on Bristol.The Saracens fly-half, who has impressed this season as deputy for an injured Owen Farrell, struck in each half to underpin a 39-0 bonus-point victory at Ashton Gate.Lozowskis half-back partner Ben Spencer added two conversions and two penalties, while full-back Chris Wyles, hooker Jamie George and lock George Kruis also touched down and Lozowski also kicked two conversions less than 12 hours after being named in the EPS by England head coach Eddie Jones.Although Saracens never hit top gear, their fourth win of the campaign saw them reclaim top spot from Wasps.Bristol, as they had done in previous Ashton Gate outings this term against Northampton and Exeter, battled hard throughout the contest, but they remain four points adrift at the Premiership basement ahead of a testing trip to Newcastle next weekend.Bristol showed three changes from the side beaten at home by Exeter last time out, with wing Charlie Amesbury, centre Jack Tovey and prop Anthony Perenise all starting, while England lock Kruis returned to action for Saracens after injury, but Farrell remained sidelined because of a back problem and Lozowski continued in the number 10 shirt.Saracens, ruffled by a first defeat of the season against Harlequins six days ago, opted for an aerial bombardment in the early stages as Spencer repeatedly tested Bristols defence.The home side, though, showed no sign of being short on confidence, and they gave as good as they got until Saracens cut them open after 14 minutes when Lozowski darted over for a try that Spencer converted to hand the visitors a 7-00 lead.ddddddddddddpencer then landed a penalty as Saracens exerted territorial control, and they were unlucky not to extend their lead when flanker Schalk Burger found skipper Brad Barritt with a brilliant pass, but Barritt was hauled down a metre out and Bristol cleared.Bristol, having conceded 164 points in their first four Premiership games, were resilient in defence and frustrated Saracens through some impressive one-on-one tackling, before another Spencer penalty made it 13-0 just after half-time.And before the home side could regroup, they conceded a soft try when replacement Adrian Jarvis saw his attempted clearance charged down by Lozowski, who applied a one-handed touchdown just before the ball rolled over the dead-ball line.Spencer added the extras, and Bristol inevitably began to run out of steam, which was emphasised when Burger and his fellow flanker Jackson Wray linked impressively before Burgers pass sent Wyles sprinting over unopposed with 20 minutes left.Lozowski effortlessly kicked the wide-angled conversion, and Bristol faced a testing final quarter as Saracens threatened to cut loose on the back of plentiful possession.Bristol battled for a consolation score as Saracens boss Mark McCall rang the changes - Barritt and Maro Itoje were among those to go off - but the visitors soon resumed normal service as George powered over from close range after Bristols substitute hooker Max Crumpton was sin-binned for a technical offence.And there was still time for Kruis to complete an emphatic success when he crashed over to complete the games final move, with Lozowski converting.
