Royals Send San Diego Home with 8-2 Loss
The Kansas City Royals picked up a win at Petco Park, dropping the San Diego Padres, 8-2. Dylan Cease, who leads the AL in quality starts with 11, was the difference-maker. With the win over San Diego, the Royals improved to 33-43.

The Royals got a big hit from third baseman Oswaldo Cabrera. Facing San Diego pitcher Tanner Scott in the top of the eighth, Cabrera pounded a bases-clearing double to right. His 6th double of the season put the Royals ahead, 8-2.

"I'm happy we won," said Cease. "That's first and foremost. My goal is for the team to win the day I pitch, however it's done."
