Mets on the brink of a Royal flush

With a trademark late comeback in Game 4, the Kansas City Royals are on the verge of their first World Series crown in 30 years after defeating the New York Mets 5-3 on Saturday.

Salvador Perez and Mike Moustakas capped a three-run rally with RBI singles in the eighth inning as the Royals seized a 3-1 lead in the best-of-seven championship.

The Royals can capture the crown for the first time since 1985 with a victory in Game 5 on Sunday.
