Season series: Royals lead 1-0
Kansas City took Tuesday’s opener 7-6 as a +130 home underdog. That win came in unorthodox fashion, as Mets reliever LHP Josh Walker committed a balk in the bottom of the 10th inning with the bases loaded to lose the game. Walker’s critical error brought home OF MJ Melendez and completed a 3-run inning for the Royals to walk it off.
New York is now 5-5 in their last 10 games overall and 1-4 in their last 5 road games. The Mets sit at 24-33 on the road on the year. The Royals have now won 4-straight and are 4-0 in their last 4 home games but are just 19-36 at home this season.
