NEW YORK — Pete Alonso homered and Luis Severino earned his first win for the New York Mets, who snapped Kansas City's seven-game winning streak with a 6-1 victory over the Royals. Brett Baty hit a two-run double and the Mets scored all five of their runs off starter Michael Wacha with two outs. New York reached double digits in hits for the fourth consecutive game and has won six of eight following an 0-5 start. Coming off a 7-0 homestand that marked the longest winning streak in the majors this season, the surprising Royals were looking for their first eight-game winning streak since a nine-game run in July 2017. Salvador Perez homered for Kansas City.
