Padres Host Royals in Interleague Showdown

The Kansas City Royals travel to San Diego for an interleague matchup against the Padres. The Royals, founded in 1969, have a storied history that includes two World Series championships (1985, 2015) and a memorable run of postseason success in the mid-2010s. Their name pays homage to the American Royal, a Kansas City livestock and rodeo tradition.

Fans attending this game will witness a team that broke a 28-year postseason drought in 2014 and quickly rose to become AL champions. The Royals' legacy includes legendary players such as George Brett and Salvador Perez, though the current lineup taking the field in San Diego will be the focus of this regular-season contest.
