KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Baseball is a crazy game. Especially when you play a terrible team.
The bottom of the seventh began with shortstop Amed Rosario in left field for the Mets, and although that was a nervous moment for Rosario, who had never played outfield in a game before in his life, the Mets were not nervous.
That’s because they were comfortably numb, having scored six runs in the top of the inning to turn a one-run deficit into a five-run lead as the Mets went on to an 11-5 victory over the wretched Royals on Sunday at Kauffman Stadium, taking two of three in the series.
