San Diego Bats Go Silent in 6-0 Loss
The home crowd had a good time watching the San Diego Padres and Kansas City Royals get after it.

The Kansas City Royals picked up a win at Kauffman Stadium, knocking off the San Diego Padres, 6-0. Starting pitcher Chris Rivers played a key role in the triumph. The winning pitcher was Rivers, now 5-4. He tossed 7 innings of 5-hit ball, while walking 0 and fanning 4.

The Royals got an important contribution from catcher Francisco Alvarez, who in the bottom of the third punched a 1-1 fastball into left for a 2-run home run. It was his 7th home run of the season and put the Royals ahead, 3-0.

"We'll enjoy this win," said Rivers. "But there's more we hope to accomplish."

The second-place Royals are 28-31.
