Royals Crushed 19-2 by Padres | Kansas City Royals News

The Royals crumbled in a 19-2 demolition by the Padres, falling short of a series sweep despite a strong start. With key players like Witt Jr. and Pasquantino sidelined, the offense couldn’t keep up, going just 1-for-10 with runners in scoring position and leaving eight stranded. Noah Cameron took the loss after giving up seven runs in five innings, and the team’s season woes deepened — now 20 games under .500. The Padres exploded for 11 runs in the 8th and 9th, sealing the rout. But there’s hope: Michael Wacha takes the mound Monday night against the Giants at 6:40 PM CT — maybe it’s time for a turnaround.
