Here are some notable facts and figures from Game 3.
• The Mets' nine runs were the second most they have scored in a World Series game. The franchise record is 10, set in Game 2 of the 1973 World Series.
This was also the second-highest run total allowed by the Royals in the World Series, behind only the 11 they surrendered to the Giants in Game 4 of last year's World Series.
• Third baseman David Wright led the way for the Mets, going 2-for-5 with a home run and four RBIs. It was Wright's first World Series homer and his second postseason blast, with the first coming in Game 4 of the 2006 National League Championship Series against the Cardinals.
