Slumping Padres Lose 6th Straight
The Royals grabbed a win, 5-2, at Kauffman Stadium, overcoming a fine effort from San Diego pitcher Julio Urias. Urias went 5.1 innings and allowed 1 run. Picking up the save was Kevin Martin. He's now 6 for 8 in save chances. The Padres have now dropped 6 straight.

The game was at a stalemate until designated hitter Greg Lópes came to bat in the bottom of the eighth. Facing San Diego pitcher Domynguos Venegas, he hit a 0-1 curveball for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Kansas City on top, 3-2.

"Been a rough stretch for us," said San Diego manager .
