Mets pitcher Noah Syndergaard will start Game 3 of the World Series against the Royals on Friday, Adam Rubin of ESPN New York reports.
Syndergaard will be the third starter in the Mets' four-man rotation -- also, Matt Harvey, Jacob deGrom, and Steven Matz -- which will be strictly followed if the series goes the distance. As a result, Syndergaard will take the hill in Games 3 and 7, if needed. In three appearances (two starts) this postseason, he's posted a 1-1 record, while surrendering four runs on eight hits and six walks to go with 20 strikeouts in 13 innings.
