POSTCAST: Mark Vientos, LATE Mets Rally FUEL Win Over Royals

The New York Mets, behind a strong night from Mark Vientos at the plate, took the first game of the series from the Kansas City Royals, 8-3. It was a game following an all too familiar script for the Mets. Protecting a small one-run lead, the Mets saw their inefficient offense open the door for a Kansas City comeback. But it was a late rally, with the Mets scoring three in the 8th and four in the 9th to take control of the ball game. Mark Vientos had the huge bases-clearing double in the 8th to give New York a 4-3 advantage. Francisco Lindor broke the game open with a three-run home run and Juan Soto add a solo shot for good measure. Kodai Senga got the start in his return to the mound and didn't allow a run over his four innings of work. Under a bit of a pitch limit, Senga had a few longer innings that limited his ability to go deep into the game but still had his stuff working. Next up for the Mets, they go for the series win tomorrow afternoon with Frankie Montas taking the bump. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
