The KC bullpen held its own. The Mets (55-41) scored three runs — including a Juan Soto two-run homer — and registered six hits. If there was any day to generate offense, the Royals needed it Saturday at Kauffman Stadium.

During Saturday's contest against the Mets, Bobby Witt Jr showed off his range, throwing out Brett Baty in the third.

Soto and the Mets get their first look at the Royals' Noah Cameron (3-4, 2.56), who continues to impress during his rookie season. The left-hander allowed only a two-run homer, plus two other hits, and a walk while striking out seven over a career-high seven innings of Monday's 9-3 win against Pittsburgh.

In the eighth inning of Saturday’s 3-1 loss to the New York Mets, the Royals drew the short end of an official replay review. It was the second time in consecutive days that a baserunner was called out.

Frankie Montas of the New York Mets will make his fourth start of the season Saturday when he takes on the Kansas City Royals and Michael Lorenzen in KC.

Due to inclement weather in the Kansas City area, the first game of the Mets' series against the Royals is delayed.
