NY Post: Mets slam back into World Series with Game 3 domination. "Syndergaard buzzed Alcides Escobar with heat to the backstop leading off the game, maybe the wake-up call the Mets needed in rolling to a 9-3 victory in Game 3 of the World Series at Citi Field. On a night everything went in the Mets’ favor, David Wright homered and drove in four runs and the bullpen was perfect, following a solid performance from Syndergaard, who rebounded from early trouble."

After the Royals took a 1-0 lead in the 1st, the Captain, David Wright, took the lead right back with a 2-run homer in the bottom of the 1st.  After the Royals took the lead back in the 2nd with two runs, Curtis Granderson slammed a 2-run shot pitting the Mets back up for good.  

Mets broke it open with 4 runs in the 6th.  Juan Uribe a pinch hit RBI single and David Wright a bases loaded single to drive in two more as the Mets sent 9 men to the plate.  

Joel Sherman NY Post: Noah Syndergaard’s 98-mph bullet flipped World Series on its head. "But suddenly there is a rest of a series to care about beyond hostilities. That is because the Mets are back in the Fall Classic and that is pretty much on Syndergaard, too. For he went from reeling to dealing in Game 3. Nearly knocked out in the second inning to delivering the key pitch in the sixth. His tenacity and survival skills have changed everything in a World Series that is now tighter and tenser."
