NEW YORK -- The kids were all right and much, much more. If only the rest of the Mets were as reliable as their rookies Saturday night, New York might be all square in this World Series.
Michael Conforto and Steven Matz did everything they could in Game 4, putting on a fresh-faced show that went to waste at Citi Field. New York squandered an eighth-inning lead and was pushed to the brink of elimination with a 5-3 loss to the Kansas City Royals.
"Definitely bittersweet," Conforto said. "We wanted that win."
With the Mets down 3-1 in the best-of-seven set, Matt Harvey represents their final chance Sunday night.
