San Francisco Giants 4 – 5 Kansas City Royals

MLB · July 22, 2026 · Final
🎧 Post-Game Report (audio)

Post-Game Recap

The Kansas City Royals took down the San Francisco Giants five to four in a game that turned completely on its head in the seventh inning. San Francisco looked to be in control, building a three to nothing lead through six and a half innings, with Luis Arraez driving in the first run on a sacrifice fly and the Giants tacking on two more in the seventh on a Brandon Lee triple and an Adames ground rule double. Three to nothing, Giants in the driver's seat. Then Kansas City happened all at once. Salvador Perez launched a four hundred and thirty seven foot missile to center, a two-run shot that suddenly made it a ballgame. Two batters later, Loftin singled to tie it, and then Lane Thomas delivered the knockout blow — a single to right that scored two more and flipped the lead to five to three just like that. The Royals scored five runs in a single inning and never looked back. San Francisco made it interesting in the ninth when Casey Schmitt went deep to left, cutting the deficit to one, but that was as close as they'd get. Perez and Thomas each drove in two runs for Kansas City, and that seventh inning explosion was simply too much to recover from. The Giants had the lead, then they had nothing. That's your post-game report. Sports Desk, signing off.
