Hart Broken: Padres rally late but can't hold on in extra innings loss to Royals
Hart Broken: Padres rally late but can't hold on in extra innings loss to Royals describes how the San Diego Padres lost 7-6 to the Kansas City Royals in extra innings at Kauffman Stadium on Friday night. Kyle Hart took the defeat after Kansas City won with its fourth walk-off victory of the season in an extra inning that produced the Royals’ biggest offensive output of the year. San Diego fell to 48-49 and dropped into extra innings for just the second time in six games, while Kansas City improved to 39-59. The Padres’ late push included Ty France’s tying 0-1 home run off Alex Lange to make it 3-3, and a three-run 10th inning sparked by Miguel Andujar. However, Hart allowed the first three batters he faced to reach in the decisive frame, with Isaac Collins driving in a run as Carter Jensen later delivered the winning two-RBI single. The game also featured score-tying and rally plays in earlier innings and bullpen work by Mason Miller and Adrian Morejon.
