Padres Crush Royals 19-2 in Blowout | San Diego Padres News

The Padres crushed the Royals 19-2 in a fireworks-filled blowout, racking up 19 hits and finally snapping a losing streak. After an early home run, they exploded for four runs, then added two more in the third to take control. Jackson Merrill and Fernando Tatis Jr. launched homers, and even the second baseman got in on the action by pitching. German Marquez started and lasted three innings, then the bullpen—Yukie Matsui, Randy Vasquez, and Wandy Peralta—shut down the Royals for six scoreless innings. The win brings them closer to .500 and keeps them alive in the wild-card race, though they face a tough Atlanta Braves series next.
