NY Mets announce lineup vs Kansas City Royals for today's game

NEW YORK – The Mets could not put up enough rums to overcome a patchwork pitching performance on Tuesday night.

The Mets put up 12 runs, including a career-high four hits by A.J. Ewing, who scored four times and drove in three runs, in a four-run loss to the Royals.

Kodai Senga, Austin Warren and Matt Seelinger each gave up four earned runs or more in the loss.

Now, with a more rested pitch staff following a chaotic weekend in Atlanta, the Mets will look to get back on track at 7:10 p.m. on Wednesday night against the Royals at Citi Field.

The Mets and Royals enter the day with identical 38-54 records.
