The Kansas City Royals remain perfect on the road. After a three-game sweep of the Texas Rangers this week, the Royals rolled into San Diego and earned a 6-5 victory over the Padres at Petco Park. The Royals (38-38) earned their fourth consecutive win. They have scored 24 runs since their players-only meeting last Saturday.

The Texas Rangers scored once but the Kansas City Royals scored four runs. Remember those 16 run games or the series wins or the return to .500 with a series sweep to bring back a modicum of good vibes?
