Hoping to turn the tide and hold off the Royals in Game 5 of the World Series tonight (8 p.m. ET game time on FOX) at Citi Field, Mets manager Terry Collins is sticking with nearly the same lineup he used in Games 3 and 4, the only difference being right-hander Matt Harvey starting on the mound and batting ninth. Kansas City is also going with essentially the same lineup from Game 4 as it looks to clinch its first World Series title since 1985. Starter Edinson Volquez is the only change, batting ninth.
New York managed three runs on six hits in the 5-3 loss in Game 4 on Saturday, putting the club down 3-1 in the Fall Classic.
