The latest on the World Series, which opens Tuesday night with the Kansas City Royals hosting the New York Mets (all times local):
5:41 p.m.
Kelly Johnson will be the Mets' designated hitter in the World Series opener.
Acquired from Atlanta on July 24, Johnson hit .250 with five homers and 13 RBIs for New York. He is 1 for 6 in the postseason.
Johnson is 4 for 14 (,286) with two RBIs against Kansas City's Game 1 starter, Edinson Volquez.
"If (Johnny) Cueto was starting, we were looking at perhaps somebody else, because his numbers against lefties are pretty good," Collins said.
