Kansas City Royals vs New York Mets Live Stream: How to Watch MLB

The New York Mets host the Kansas City Royals for this interleague series starting on Tuesday.

The New York Mets and Kansas City Royals play their first and only series of the season starting on Tuesday night. While both clubs have been struggling this season, sitting in last place in their respective divisions, they are looking to extend their third straight win heading into Tuesday’s game. Before winning back-to-back games to close out their four-game set with the Atlanta Braves, the Mets had lost five of their last six and were 2-12 in their last 14 games. New York is 38-53 overall and 19-24 at home, sitting 15 games back out of first in the NL East. The Royals are coming off back-to-back wins against another NL East foe in the Philadelphia Phillies. But Kansas City is a game behind the Mets with a 37-54 record, with a 16-28 mark on the road. The Royals were 1-8 in their last nine games before winning the series against Philadelphia. On paper, with their records, this should be a very close series in Queens. But the Mets are the big -156 favorite to win the opener tonight. That line is set even though New York has yet to announce a starter for Tuesday. Former Mets starter Seth Lugo will get the start for Kansas City. Lugo was drafted by New York and played for the Mets from 2016-2022. The veteran righty is 3-6 this season with a 4.20 ERA in 96.1 innings.

The Mets lost the first two games of their four-game set against the Braves, but rallied to tie the series on Monday with a close 7-6 victory in 10 innings. Luis Torrens played the hero for the Mets in the series finale, driving in two runs on a double in extras with two outs in the 10th inning. That is after New York rallied for three runs at the top of the ninth. The Mets gave up two runs in the bottom of the ninth to send the game into extras. It looked like Atlanta was going to tie it again in the 10th by scoring another run in the bottom of the inning, but Luke Weaver locked it down to earn the save. New York had only scored two runs before the ninth inning. Juan Soto had a three-run shot in the top of the ninth to give the Mets life.

The Royals series finale against the Phillies wasn’t even remotely close, with Kansas City beating Philadelphia on Monday, 15-1. The Royals were fueled to victory with four homers from Salvador Perez, Luke Maile, Lane Thomas, and Tyler Tolbert. The most impressive feat for Kansas City was that all this success came off of Phillies’ ace Cristopher Sanchez. The lefty already had 10 wins, but he gave up a career-worst nine earned runs in just 3.1 innings. Noah Cameron gave up a run in the first inning, but he settled down nicely, going five innings while giving up six hits and striking out seven to improve to 5-6 on the season. The Royals scored in every inning of the game except the ninth, but that was because they were already up 14 at home.
