Kansas City rookie Noah Cameron matched a career high with eight strikeouts while pitching into the seventh, but the Royals needed Nick Loftin's walk-off RBI single in the ninth to win 3-2 over the visiting New York Mets on Sunday.

Carlos Mendoza explained why he remains confident in the Mets' offense despite their struggles in Sunday's loss to the Royals.

Juan Soto is swinging a hot bat for the New York Mets, and our expert MLB predictions expect this trend to continue today against the Kansas City Royals.

Royals speedster Tyler Tolbert was the subject of Friday's call. He attempted to steal second base and appeared to have made it safely. However, the Mets challenged the call and replay review showed his body had slid off the bag. An unfortunate call went against the Royals. Less than 24 hours later, the Royals were in the same situation.

Frankie Montas, in his fourth start back from injury, threw five innings of one-run ball, Juan Soto hit a two-run homer, Tyrone Taylor made two game-changing catches in center, Reed Garrett pitched a gritty inning in relief, Luis Torrens threw out a pivotal baserunner in the eighth, and Edwin Diaz emptied the tank to earn a six-out save.

Clay Holmes knew his ceiling was five innings on Sunday, so length wasn’t a focal point of his final start before the All-Star break.
