Salvador Perez lashed a walk-off single in the 10th inning, and nine Kansas City pitchers combined on a five-hit shutout as the Royals blanked the visiting Atlanta Braves 1-0 on Wednesday.

The Braves are coming off a 2-1 series loss at the Kansas City Royals, wrapping up the set with a 1-0 setback in 10 innings as +106 underdogs Wednesday with the Under (9.5) easily cashing. Atlanta has dropped 7 of its last 8 games.

As All-Star Ronald Acuna Jr. heads to the injured list, the Braves must try to rebound from their latest defeat. They will visit the Kansas City Royals, who finally have some consistent offense, in the rubber game of a three-game series on Wednesday afternoon.

Atlanta Braves star Ronald Acuna Jr. was pulled from Tuesday night's game against the Kansas City Royals after experiencing "right Achilles tightness," the team said. MLB.com's Mark Bowman reported that Acuna was wearing a walking boot and that he "held back tears" while talking with reporters after the game.
