The Mets bounced back from getting swept by the lowly Braves by winning two one-run games against those "relentless" Royals, taking Wednesday's game by a 4-3 score. The Mets took a 3-2 lead when Asdrubal Cabrera hit a two-run homer. It was the second straight game where Cabrera went deep. He now has eight homers [...]
