KANSAS CITY, Mo. (CBSNewYork/AP) — David Wright lifted a foul popup, paused and turned back toward the dugout. He didn’t bother to watch Royals first baseman Eric Hosmer make the catch.
Yet another easy out by the New York Mets.
This is definitely not how banged-up Yoenis Cespedes, Daniel Murphy and Wright imagined their first World Series.
No launches into the seats. No lasers to the gaps. No liners into the corners.
“Yeah, we’re not hitting,” manager Terry Collins said Wednesday night after a 7-1 loss to Kansas City dropped them into an 0-2 deficit.
