Jose Iglesias tied the game with two-run, two-out, bases-loaded pinch-hit single in the seventh inning and then drove in the winning run with a grounder in the ninth for the San Diego Padres, who beat the Kansas City Royals 3-2 to take two of three.

Jose Iglesias' RBI infield single in the bottom of the ninth inning Sunday lifted the San Diego Padres to a 3-2 win over the visiting Kansas City Royals. Luis Arraez started the winning rally with a leadoff single off Daniel Lynch IV (3-2) and Xander Bogaerts lined a one-out double to left-center to push Arraez to third.

Merrill returned from his stint on the 7-day Concussion IL and Padres Manager Mike Shildt took the opportunity to shake up the lineup. Merrill was penciled into the second spot and Arraez moved into the fourth spot. It appeared to be a positive change as Merrill and Arraez each recorded a hit and scored a run in the game.
