Overview

• Activated from the 60-day injured list on Sunday, Manaea struck out seven and allowed one run over 3⅓ innings of relief after Clay Holmes’ five-inning start.
• Nick Loftin’s ninth-inning single scored Tyler Tolbert for a 3-2 Royals win, spoiling New York’s late rally.
• Rookie Noah Cameron delivered 6⅔ scoreless innings with eight strikeouts, matching his career high and dropping his ERA to 2.31.
• The Mets’ offense was held scoreless until the ninth when Jeff McNeil’s pinch-hit triple and Jared Young’s sacrifice fly tied the game.
• With Manaea back alongside Kodai Senga, Frankie Montas and Clay Holmes, New York finally has its planned rotation intact despite ongoing lineup inconsistency.
