KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) --- Carter Jensen hit a two-run single to cap a four-run
rally in the 10th inning that gave the Kansas City Royals a 7-6 victory over
the San Diego Padres on Friday night.
Lane Thomas homered early for the last-place Royals, who stopped a five-game
losing streak. Jensen and Michael Massey each had three of Kansas City's 13
hits.
Ty France launched a solo homer for the Padres with two outs in the ninth,
tying the score at 3.
The Royals had an excellent opportunity to win in the bottom half, when
Jensen's double helped them load the bases with nobody out against Mason
Miller. But the All-Star closer struck out the next three batters, sending the
game to extra innings.
San Diego took a 6-3 lead in the top of the 10th on Miguel Andujar's RBI
double, Fernando Tatis Jr.'s run-scoring single and Xander Bogaerts' sacrifice
fly.
