Summary
Padres vs. Royals: A full-circle moment as Freddy Fermin, acquired from KC last year, returns to face the team that sent him packing — now batting ninth after a head injury layoff. Stephen Kolek, also traded away by SD, makes a rehab start for KC. With the Padres a game under .500 and chasing a wild-card spot, Griffin Canning (struggling overall but strong vs. KC) takes the mound against Randy Dobnak, who’s been solid lately and hasn’t faced San Diego before. Gavin Sheets and Ty France also in the lineup — this one’s got history, heart, and a little bit of déjà vu. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
