SAN DIEGO -- Continuing a trend that began in Saturday's victory, the Royals homered their way past the Padres on Sunday, blasting four long balls in an 8-3 victory in the series' rubber match at Petco Park
Eric Hosmer's RBI single with two outs in the first gave Kansas City a quick 1-0 lead against rookie right-hander Dinelson Lamet. Salvador Perez followed with a single of his own before Mike Moustakas unleashed his 16th homer, a three-run blast that staked Kansas City to a 4-0 lead. Moustakas added his 17th in the ninth for his fifth-career multi-home run game.
