Granderson's 2-run HR gives Mets lead

Curtis Granderson just needed to get back to Citi Field.

The New York Mets outfielder was 1-for-8 through the first two games of the World Series, but broke out in a big way in Game 3.

After Noah Syndergaard singled off Kansas City Royals starter Yordano Ventura in the third, Granderson deposited a two-run home run that just snuck over the right-field wall to give the Mets the 4-3 lead.

"He's just had a phenomenal year for us," manager Terry Collins said of Granderson. "He picks us up when we needed to be picked up."

The 346-foot shot was Granderson's second hit of the night after leading off the game with a single.
