The San Diego Padres set a new ratings record Tuesday — albeit with a small sample size. In other news, the Royals continue to scorch the ratings in Kansas City, and UniM?s hit an eight-year high for the Confederations Cup on Sunday.
Padres Set Ratings Record

Royals Earn Second-Best Rating on FSKC
- The Royals’ win over the Indians Monday drew an 8.64 rating on Fox Sports Kansas City, the network’s second-best Royals rating ever. Only last Tuesday’s Tigers/Royals game (8.8) drew a better rating on the network. (Fox Sports)
Confederations Cup Hits 8-Year High on UniM?s
- Sunday’s Mexico/Italy Confederations Cup match drew 3.1 million viewers on UniM?s, the largest audience for a Confederations Cup match on UniM?s or Univision since Mexico/Argentina in 2005 — topping every game of the 2009 event.
