Kansas City will be the Mets’ opponent in the 2015 World Series.
The Royals pushed across a run in the eighth after a 37-minute rain delay to beat Toronto 4-3 Friday to win the American League Championship Series, 4-2.
The Royals advanced to their second consecutive World Series. They’ll host the Mets Tuesday and Wednesday in Games 1 and 2. The World Series returns to Citi Field for Games 3 and 4 Friday and Saturday, with Game 5 if necessary Sunday.
The Royals and Mets have little shared history. The Mets last visited Kauffman Stadium in 2004; the Royals came to Citi Field in 2013.
The Mets had a hand in establishing the Royals in the 1970s when they traded future All-Star Amos Otis to Kansas City for Joe Foy in 1969. David Cone, a Kansas City native, was traded from the Royals to the Mets in 1987. In 1988, Cone went 20–3 with a 2.22 ERA to finish third in National League Cy Young Award balloting.
