The home crowd had a good time watching the Kansas City Royals and New York Mets get after it.

The New York Mets picked up a win at Citi Field, knocking off the Kansas City Royals, 3-1. On the mound for New York was right-hander Jeff McCray. He played a key role in the triumph. Pat Gross closed it out for New York, earning his 14th save.

New York designated hitter Kenny Hernandez helped the Mets go up, 3-1, in the bottom of the sixth inning. With the game tied, Hernandez hit a 2-run single off Kansas City pitcher Juan Garza.

Hernandez told the media after that game that the mood in the clubhouse is "extremely positive" after a win like that.

The third-place Mets improved to 42-51.
