The Royals allowed a ton of baserunners but managed to work out of enough jams to beat the Padres by a score of 4-3 in San Diego this afternoon.
Both offenses were quiet through the first three innings. Yu Darvish needed just 32 pitches to get the first nine outs, including striking out the side in the third. Carlos Hernández struck out four and hit 100 mph five times through two scoreless. Mike Mayers made his Royals debut to start the third inning. Ryan Lefebvre and Rex Hudler took this opportunity to talk about Michael Myers.
