The Mets has Jeurys Familia on the mound and he had been lights out in the postseason, not allowing a run in his appearances. That all changed on Tuesday, as he gave up the game tying home run to Alex Gordon and that pushed the game into extra innings. The Royals and Mets battled back and forth with their bullpens and eventually the Royals were able to break through and win the game.
The Mets now are down 1-0 in the series and they will try and leave Kansas City with the series at 1-1 after Game 2. Both teams had a number of pitchers come into the game and that could mess around with the bullpens moving forward. Chris Young will still start Game 4 for the Royals after pitching relief and he was strong for Kansas City coming in. Young had not hit 90 on the gun in a couple years, but he did it multiple times on Tuesday night.
The Mets will try to bounce back and they have Noah Syndergaard lined up for Game 3 and that will be at Citi Field. The team has Steven Matz after that and they will be hoping to get things going coming back to New York. If the Mets don't win at least one game over the next two, there is a chance that the series will not go back to Kansas City.
Terry Collins said that the team is ready to come back and they have put the first loss behind them. The Mets have had time off coming into this series after sweeping the Cubs and now they will try and get a win against the Royals to even things up.
