Final.

Nick Loftin gets it done! FINAL: Royals 4, Padres 3 #HEYHEYHEYHEY

Bring him home @Padres

Do the Royals come back and win today if they don't rally on Friday and force the Padres to use closer Robert Suarez? He was unavailable today after working two straight games, forcing the Padres to turn to Yuki Matsui.

There is not a true @Padres fan, living or dead, that didn't know the outcome of that game 10 minutes before it ended. #Padres

And that's a walkoff for the #Royals. Nick Loftin drives in Velazquez, who'd tripled in two to tie it in the bottom of the 9th. No sweep for Padres. KC still has not been swept this year.

A very 2024 Royals game. Starter shoved. Bullpen struggled. Lineup awoke late. Royals 3-run ninth gives them a 4-3 win in series finale against Padres — and they're still yet to be swept this year.

Kolek imploding on Friday and Shildt leaving him in too long and being forced to use Suarez lost the Padres today's game.

Some stirring stuff at The K as Royals' Nelson Velazquez smacks first triple of season to drive in two and tie Padres 3-3 in B9 with nobody out.

The good ol hanging curve ball. Padres just Chargered. Freaking A.

There's just something about the 8th inning...

That’s royalty right there 😏

Déjà vu happening for the #Royals in the eighth inning. Four consecutive singles off Angel Zerpa, along with a throwing error from him on a pickoff attempt, have led to two Padres runs. They lead, 3-1.

Good ol fashioned Machado and Tatis coming through this series. Much needed boost to this #padres lineup. They now lead 3-1 in the 8th.

Tyler Wade infield single, making things happen! Two base error trying to pick him off and Fernando drives him in. Beautiful baseball. So fun to watch. I love these Padres.

Cope Ragans had a strong start, firing off 6.0 IP with 1 ER, 5 H, 6 K, 2 BB Ragans leaned heavily on his 4-Seam and weaved in a lot of changeups and sliders to stifle Padres hitters. He generated 14 whiffs on 30.4 Whiff% He has a 3.21 ERA and 2.27 FIP in 73.0 IP
