Kansas City Royals at New York Mets
Final
Recap
After scoring 15 runs against the Phillies on Monday, the Royals had their hitting shoes on once again Tuesday -- this time against the Mets -- and won a slugfest, 16-12, at Citi Field. It was a game that saw the Royals fall behind at both 3-0 and 9-4 margins in the early going, but right fielder Tyler Tolbert was the reason Kansas City was able to win its third straight game. With five hits against the Mets, Tolbert tied an MLB record with a hit in 12 consecutive plate appearances. He also shattered the previous Royals record of eight straight. * These players got how many hits in a row?
