Michael Conforto's leadoff home run in the third against Chris Young and a gaffe by Kansas City right fielder Alex Rios later in the inning gave the Mets a 2-0 lead. Conforto, a rookie who did not face Young during his relief outing in the 14-inning opener, pulled an 87 mph pitch 395 feet into the right field upper deck. Wilmer Flores singled, ending an 0-for-10 Series start, advanced on a wild pitch and was sacrificed to third by Mets starter Steven Matz.
