Royals Edge Padres in Series Opener | San Diego Padres News
Description
The Royals crushed the Padres 6-1, with Lane Thomas and Salvador Perez launching back-to-back two-run homers — Perez’s 12th of the year, just two shy of George Brett’s franchise record. Jac Caglianone extended his hitting streak to nine games, Isaac Collins added an RBI single, and Vinnie Pasquantino kept his on-base streak alive at 14 games. Daniel Lynch IV earned the win with two scoreless innings. For San Diego, Tatis Jr. went yard and reached base safely in 33 of his last 36 games, but the offense stalled — just 1-for-9 with runners in scoring position and three double plays. This win marks the Royals’ 10th series victory of the year and their first series win over the Padres since 2023 — and their first home series win against San Diego since 2002. The finale: Germán Márquez vs. Noah Cameron.
