Royals pitchers struggle to get third out, fall 13-5 to the Padres

Kris Bubic gave up three first inning runs, setting the tone for an 13-5 loss to the Padres Friday night. Bubic would last just four innings, giving up six runs, and the Royals ran through a parade of seven relievers, including Hunter Dozier.

Bubic retired the first two hitters quickly, but had trouble closing the door. He walked Manny Machado and gave up a single to Brandon Drury before Josh Bell knocked home a run with a single, and Wil Myers doubled home two more to make it 3-0. Bubic gave up another run in the second, then back-to-back home runs by Myers and Jake Cronenworth with two outs in the third made it 6-0.
