The exploits of right fielder Max Kepler, who led the NL in doubles with 50 last year, helped the San Diego Padres defeat the Kansas City Royals, 3-2. Kepler went 3 for 4 with a home run and a double. Aroldis Chapman converted his 20th save in 21 tries. With the win, San Diego upped its record to 60-46.

San Diego relied on the hitting of Jose Altuve to pick up the win. The second baseman clubbed a solo home run in the top of the sixth inning to put the Padres on top, 3-2. For the game, Altuve had 1 home run and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"We'll relax tonight and get back after it tomorrow," Kepler said after the game.
