— San Diego Padres (@Padres) June 21, 2025 The Padres’ bullpen kept the Royals off the board for 2 1/3 innings in relief of starter Nick Pivetta. Jason Adam started the top of the eighth and allowed a single and a walk to put runners at first and second with no outs. Salvador Perez hit a line drive over Machado into left field, which allowed a run to score to give Kansas City a 5-4 lead.
