NEW YORK (AP) — Ervin Santana scattered five hits and allowed one run in six innings, and the surging Kansas City Royals took advantage of a sun-splashed Sunday to beat the New York Mets 6-2 and win the three-game interleague series.

The Royals won for the 11th time in 12 games, helped by a pair of flyballs that right fielder Marlon Byrd lost in the glare. Both came during a three-run fifth, with one falling for a double and the other glancing off his glove for an error.

Mike Moustakas hit a solo homer for the Royals, who won their second straight from the Mets. Kansas City completed an 8-1 road trip.

NEW YORK (AP) — All-Star catcher Salvador Perez, who was struck in the mask by a foul ball in the Kansas City Royals’ win over the New York Mets on Saturday is going on the seven-day concussion disabled list.

Perez came on for defense and was injured in the 12th inning. He finished the game but was sent to the hospital for tests because of a headache. The Royals recalled catcher Brett Hayes from Triple-A Omaha on Sunday to replace him.

Kansas City was also without right-handed pitcher Wade Davis, who is on the family emergency list, because of a medical situation regarding his brother. Davis, who left Saturday’s 4-3 win over the Mets in the first inning, isn’t slated to pitch until Wednesday against Minnesota.

The Royals recalled left-hander Will Smith from Omaha on Sunday. He is expected to be used out of the bullpen.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — The Nebraska Game and Parks Commission says registration for the Harvest Information Program has begun.

Program registration is required of Nebraska residents age 16 and older and all nonresidents who plan to hunt migratory game birds between Aug. 1 and July 31 next year. The birds covered at dove, ducks, geese, snipe, rail, coots and woodcocks.

The program is required by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. It helps wildlife managers estimate the number of migratory birds killed by hunters each year. Those estimates help biologists set limits and seasons.

Hunters may register for free online at OutdoorNebraska.ne.gov/Hip or by telephone at 877-634-8687. The hunters are assigned numbers they must have with them while hunting.

Hunting permits may be purchased at OutdoorNebraska.org.

DENVER (AP) — Peyton Manning opened the night with a couple of belly flops, then moved on to what he does best.

Splish-splashing through the rain Saturday night, the Denver quarterback engineered a seven-play touchdown drive during the Broncos’ scrimmage at Sports Authority field, capping it with a 4-yard, across-the-body scoring pass to Demaryius Thomas.

This was Manning’s first appearance at his home field since last season’s upset playoff loss to Baltimore in 12-degree weather.

With rain coming down sideways and the scrimmage in jeopardy of being cancelled, Manning took to the field and did a couple of stomach-first slides to the delight of the fans who stuck out the rain.

Later, with the rain still falling, Manning completed 4 of 6 passes during his 12 plays.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Francisco Liriano continued his recent dominance with seven strong innings, and Jose Tabata homered and drove in two runs to lead the Pittsburgh Pirates to a 5-2 win over the Colorado Rockies on Saturday night.

Liriano (12-4) allowed only two hits to offset his five walks and had six strikeouts. The left-hander improved to 7-1 with a 1.65 ERA in his last eight starts for the NL Central leaders.

Tabata hit his first home run since May 11 — a span of 112 plate appearances — and also tripled while going 3 for 4.

Gaby Sanchez had two hits and two RBIs for Pittsburgh, while Jordy Mercer and Andrew McCutchen added two hits each.

Jorge De La Rosa (10-6) pitched four-plus innings and gave up three runs on six hits while striking out three and walking two.
