KANSAS CITY, Mo. --
FIRST PITCH: So now the pressure shifts to Noah Syndergaard.
With the New York Mets in an 0-2 hole in the World Series, Syndergaard will take the mound Friday for the Amazin's at Citi Field opposite right-hander Yordano Ventura.
Both teams are scheduled to work out at Citi Field on Thursday's off-day.
Syndergaard has a 2.77 ERA in three appearances (two starts) this postseason. He has fanned 20 in 13 innings, although the Kansas City Royals have proven tough to strike out.
