Game Preview

 
The Kansas City Royals (12-31 record, 15-27 RL, 4-6 L10) are gearing up to take on the San Diego Padres (20-22 record, 20-21 RL, 3-7 L10) in the second game of their three-game series at Petco Park in San Diego, California. After a 4-0 loss in the first game, the Royals are determined to even the series.
 
Brady Singer, a right-handed pitcher, will be on the mound for the Royals in game two, while the Padres will counter with right-hander Seth Lugo. The game is set to begin at 9:40 pm EST.
 
Currently on a four-game losing streak, the Royals recently experienced a sweep by the Brewers and suffered a defeat in the first game against the Padres. In their previous outing, Brad Keller started but ended up with the loss as the Royals struggled to generate offense, mustering only two hits and failing to score. Singer, despite facing challenges this season, aims to deliver a strong performance to help his team break the losing streak.
 
Throughout the season, the Royals’ batting lineup has struggled to maintain consistency, although Salvador Perez has stood out, leading the team in hits, batting average, home runs, and RBIs. Vinnie Pasquantino has shown promise with a high on-base percentage (OBP), but the team as a whole needs to improve their consistency in order to find success.

The Padres hope that Lugo can sustain the winning momentum and potentially secure a series win.
