Kansas City Royals Johnny Cueto helped himself in more than one way

While Syndergaard struck out Escobar, Zobrist doubled on a hop off the center-field wall and scored after an infield hit and Eric Hosmer's sacrifice fly.

What's next: Game 4 on Saturday in New York (8:07 p.m. ET, Fox). His ability to play anywhere in the infield or the outfield will be very useful for manager Ned Yost with the National League rules in place (no designated hitter).

One of the main reasons why the Royals are dominating is because their batters are defiant in striking out. "Last year we took a 2-1 lead in San Francisco and were feeling pretty good about ourselves".

Look, still believes his beloved New York Mets can win the World Series.

The Mets desperately need a win in Game 3 as they are down 2-0 in the 2015 World Series to the hard-hitting Royals.

Not since the Minnesota Twins' Jack Morris beat the Atlanta Braves in a 10-inning, Game Seven victory in the 1991 World Series, had an American League hurler turned in such a performance.

Wright, who entered 2 for 11 in the World Series, went 2 for 5 with a home run and four RBIs.

"We can't think about the hole that we're in". "It seemed like every time they had an answer, we had an answer right back". Get to know Laurence Leavy, aka Marlins Man. I'm sure the fans are going to be going insane.

With his first pitch, Syndergaard threw a 98 miles per hour high fastball up and in that went to the backstop, and dropped Escobar to the ground as the crowd at Citi Field roared in approval. "I feel, like, the support from the team and I feel good going out there".

Mondesi had kept sharp playing with minor leaguers and was added to Kansas City's roster for the World Series. The other hit came from Jeremy Guthrie, who is not on the postseason roster.

The Mets even got contributions at the plate from Syndergaard (1-for-2 with a run scored) and pinch hitter Juan Uribe, who singled home a run in his first plate appearance since September 25 to give his side a 6-3 lead in the sixth.

The Mets' hulking right-hander helped regain the lead in the bottom of the third leading off the inning with a single. The Royals have nine wins this postseason, and six are of the come-from-behind variety.

It was the kind of starring role the Royals were counting on him to deliver when they made the decision to mortgage much of their future on him.

But the game's complexion changed in the bottom of the fifth inning when the Royals exploded for four runs and knocked Mets starter Jacob deGrom out of the game. WHAT BOOKS SAY:"We opened the Mets at -135 on the money line and took nothing but early Royals action at (+125), we have since adjusted the money line to Mets (-140) as the action has shifted to the Mets with 64% now backing the Mets at home".
