The Kansas City Royals committed three errors during a single play in their game against the New York Mets on July 7, 2026, resulting in three unearned runs for the Mets. The sequence began when Mets outfielder Carson Benge hit a ground ball back to the mound. Royals pitcher Seth Lugo's throw to first base was off-target, allowing Benge to reach safely. Following this, attempts by first baseman Jac Caglianone and third baseman Nick Loftin to make plays on Benge also resulted in errors, allowing him to score. The Mets took a 3-0 lead before the Royals managed to tie the game at 9-9 by the fifth inning.
