Jun 20, 2025; San Diego, California, USA; Kansas City Royals third baseman Jonathan India (6) hits a three-run home run during the fifth inning against the San Diego Padres at Petco Park. Mandatory Credit: Denis Poroy-Imagn Images Salvador Perez’s RBI single snapped a 4-4 tie in the top of the eighth inning Friday night and the visiting Kansas City Royals stopped the San Diego Padres 6-5.
Perez’s hit knocked in Maikel Garcia, who opened the inning with a single off Jason Adam (5-3) and reached scoring position via Vinnie Pasquantino’s walk. Drew Waters tacked on insurance later in the inning with a two-out single that plated pinch runner John Rave.
Reliever Lucas Erceg (2-2) got the win despite allowing a game-tying two-run single by Gavin Sheets in the bottom of the seventh that capped San Diego’s rally from a 4-0 deficit. Steven Cruz pitched a scoreless eighth and Carlos Estevez worked the ninth for his MLB-high 22nd save in 25 chances despite giving up a leadoff homer to Manny Machado, his 12th of the year.
Sheets’ hit no-decisioned both starters. Kansas City’s Michael Lorenzen went the first 5 1/3 innings, allowing five hits and two runs with three walks and four strikeouts. Padres right-hander Nick Pivetta lasted 4 2/3 innings, permitting six hits and four runs while walking two and whiffing three.
Coming off a two-hitter over seven innings Sunday in an 8-2 win at Arizona, Pivetta ran into instant trouble. He hung a curve to Bobby Witt Jr. with one out in the first and Witt blasted it into the seats in left for his 10th homer.
Pivetta was able to keep the Royals in check until the fifth. After walks to Freddy Fermin and Nick Loftin, Kyle Isbel bunted them over. Jonathan India cashed them in by cracking a three-run homer to left-center, his fourth.
Luis Arraez got San Diego on the board in its half of the fifth by stroking a two-out RBI single to right-center that scored Trenton Brooks. Pinch hitter Jose Iglesias made it 4-2 in the sixth by poking a run-scoring single to right that plated Xander Bogaerts.
Bogaerts finished with three hits, giving him eight straight hits, dating back to Wednesday. The streak ended when he popped out in the ninth.
Garcia bagged three hits for Kansas City.

Week 22 Fantasy Baseball Waiver-Wire Targets: Samuel Basallo immediately leaps to top priority status
We didn't get a flood of prospect promotions this week, but we got a few notable ones and should see a few more the rest of the way. So, before we get to the top waiver-wire targets for every position ahead of Week 22, let's take a look at four big-name prospects to know who were promoted in recent days: Rookie callups to know from this weekSamuel Basallo, C, Orioles (42%) – Yet another young catcher worth getting excited about, and Basallo is, frankly, on a different level than even some of the more successful young guys like Agustin Ramirez or Drake Baldwin. That doesn't mean he'll find the immediate success they did, but Basallo just hit .270/.377/.589 with good plate discipline and excellent quality of contact metrics as a 20-year-old at Triple-A. He figures to play regularly down the stretch, […]

WATCH: Scottie Scheffler ridiculous hole out clinches BMW Championship 2025, history alongside Tiger Woods
Getty Images Like so many times before in his PGA Tour career, Scottie Scheffler delivered his best when his best was required. This time, at the 2025 BMW Championship on Sunday, it was among his most spectacular efforts yet. The world No. 1 holed out a miraculous chip-in on the 17th hole at Caves Valley Golf Club, propelling him to a two-shot win over Robert MacIntyre in the second leg of the FedEx Cup Playoffs and penultimate event of the season.By clinching his fifth win of the 2025 season and 12th over the last two years on the PGA Tour, Scheffler became the first player since Tiger Woods to win 5+ tournaments in consecutive campaigns. Woods accomplished as much across five straight seasons rom 1999-2003 and again for three consecutive years from 2005-07.Scheffler began Sunday's final round three strokes back […]
