In the opening game between the New York Mets and Kansas City Royals, the Royals commit three consecutive errors that change the outcome of a short play and lead to unearned runs. Multiple outlets describe the sequence as occurring on one ball on the ground, where Royals fielding miscues allow the Mets to score three unearned runs. The errors turn Carson Benge’s initial contact into a dramatic result, with Benge scoring what outlets characterize as a “Little League home run” immediately after the fielding failures. The play begins with Benge reaching base on a short ground ball, and the Royals’ successive mistakes compound the situation, ultimately letting him cross home plate. Both sources agree on the timing and core mechanics of the inning: the Royals’ errors happen consecutively at the start of the game, and the Mets benefit directly from those errors. The coverage focuses on the Royals’ defensive collapse and Benge’s scoring impact, with the runs counted as unearned due to the fielding errors.
