New York Mets vs. Kansas City Royals - 07/12/2025

Jim Wolf has faced calls for his job this season, from fans and analysts alike. He is currently ranked 77th of 90 MLB umpires, and his performance on Friday night during a game between the New York Mets and Kansas City Royals did not help his case.

Due to inclement weather in the Kansas City area, the first game of the Mets' series against the Royals is delayed.

K ansas City Royals closer Carlos Estévez is headed to the 2025 MLB All-Star Game. The top reliever will replace Texas Rangers starter Jacob deGrom on the American League roster. Estévez, 32, has shined in his first season with the Royals. He leads the AL with 25 saves and has posted a 2.03 ERA in 39 appearances.

Mets vs. Royals will air locally on SNY, and nationally on MLB.TV. It can be streamed live on DirecTV (free trial). Time: 8:10 p.m. ET
