Padres Walk Off Royals Amid Royals' Home Woes

News summary

The San Diego Padres defeated the Kansas City Royals 3-2 in a dramatic walk-off win, with Jose Iglesias tying the game and driving in the winning run in the ninth inning. Royals pitcher Seth Lugo retired 18 consecutive Padres batters but could not hold the lead late, while Padres rookie Jackson Merrill contributed with a key relay throw. The loss extended the Royals' June home losing streak to 0-7, and they will next face the Rays and Dodgers as they seek their first home win this month. Padres manager Mike Shildt remains optimistic despite ongoing injuries and possible suspensions stemming from recent altercations with the Dodgers. The series marked a rebound for the Padres after recent struggles, with Fernando Tatis Jr. delivering a strong early-week performance. Upcoming Royals games will be broadcast on FDSKC, 96.5 The Fan, and available for streaming via FanDuel Sports or Amazon Prime.
