Two balls launched into the seats, one fired over the first hitter's head and just like that, David Wright and the New York Mets are right back in a World Series that has suddenly turned testy. Wright homered and drove in four runs, Curtis Granderson also connected and rookie Noah Syndergaard set a nasty tone at the start of a 9-3 victory against the Kansas City Royals that trimmed New York's deficit to 2-1 Friday night.
