\n

The Kansas City Royals were looking to complete a sweep at home against the San Diego Padres out of the All-Star Break, however, timely hitting and the long ball doomed the Royals as the Padres beat them 19-2.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Things were looking good for the Royals out of the gate, Noah Cameron got a scoreless first inning, and Jac Caglianone absolutely crushed a solo shot in the bottom of the 1st. A 114 mph, 432 foot shot to right field, for the 16th on the season for Cags.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Unfortunately, things quickly went for south for Cameron and the Royals immediately after. The Padres hit two straight singles with one out, then loaded the bases with a walk. Fernando Tatis Jr. smacked a two-run single, Jackson Merrill singled in a run of his own and Manny Machado hit a sac fly making it 4-1.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

San Diego tacked on two more in the 3rd, with a two-out RBI double and single, making it 6-1. The Royals did get one back in the bottom half of the inning, when Isaac Collins hit a double, scoring Cags.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Merrill led off the 4th with a homer, making it 7-2. The Royals did load the bases with nobody out in the bottom of the inning, but Carter Jensen struck out and Nick Loftin hit into a double play.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

After that, it was just San Diego piling on. Tatis homered off Matt Strahm in the 6th, making it 8-2. Beck Way looked good, but was burned badly with a Tyler Tolbert error, scoring one. Lucas Erceg came in and promptly gave up a grand slam to Ty France, because of course. It was 13-2 after 8 innings.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Tolbert pitched the 9th, and it didn\u2019t go any better. Merrill homered again, this time a 2-run shot. France homered again, making it 16-2. A bases loaded hit batter and two-run single, made it 19-2. Ending the nightmare.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Uh, nothing really positive to speak on, other than Cags crushed a homer, and finished the day 2-4. The Royals are 40-60, 100 games in. They open a three-game series tomorrow, at home against the Giants. First pitch is set for 6:40 p.m. CT. Michael Wacha is expected to start.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
