Royals vs. Mets, 2015 World Series: Time, TV schedule and team news for Game 4

The New York Mets will try to pull even with the Kansas City Royals in the World Series with Game 4 on Saturday night from Citi Field in New York.

New York came alive with nine runs in Friday's win in Game 3, thanks to home runs from David Wright and Curtis Granderson, and Wright driving in four runs to back starter Noah Syndergaard's six strong innings.

The Mets will start left-hander Steven Matz in Game 4 on Friday. He will be making just his ninth major league start, and his third in the postseason. After going 4-0 with a 2.27 ERA in his six regular season starts, with 34 strikeouts and 35⅔ innings, results have been mixed in October.

Matz allowed three runs in five innings in a loss in Game 4 of the NLDS against the Dodgers. He allowed just one run against the Chicago Cubs in Game 4 of the NLCS, but was pulled with two outs in the fifth inning up 6-1, making him ineligible for the win. Matz has a 3.72 ERA in his two starts, with eight strikeouts and four walks in 9⅔ innings.

Kansas City will turn to veteran Chris Young to start Game 4. The 36-year-old isn't just a veteran because he's in his 11th year of pitching in the majors. Young is also a veteran of this World Series, having already pitched three scoreless innings in Game 1, striking out four without allowing a hit to pick up the win.
