Royals Come Back Late to Top Mets
The inspired effort of New York left fielder Dwight Evans was not enough to prevent a 6-5 loss to the Kansas City Royals. Evans was 2 for 4 with a home run and a walk. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2. The Royals are off to a tough start, getting just their 6th win in 16 games.

Jack Rothrock was the walk-off hero for Kansas City. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Royals second baseman hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

"There's nothing like the buzz of a walk-off win," Rothrock said.
