The 2014 World Series resumes at AT&T Park in San Francisco on Friday. The Royals and Giants are tied at one game apiece, so this is now a best-of-5 series. Game 3 is scheduled to begin at 8 p.m. ET and will be aired on Fox.
Here are the starting lineups for Game 3. First, the visiting Royals:
- SS Alcides Escobar
- LF Alex Gordon
- RF Lorenzo Cain
- 1B Eric Hosmer
- 3B Mike Moustakas
- 2B Omar Infante
- C Salvador Perez
- CF Jarrod Dyson
- RHP Jeremy Guthrie
Dyson is replacing Norichika Aoki in the lineup. Manager Ned Yost said he prefers the Gordon-Dyson-Cain outfield alignment in spacious AT&T Park, and also added he considers Aoki a better pinch-hitting weapon.
Now, here is the lineup for the home Giants:
- CF Gregor Blanco
- 2B Joe Panik
- C Buster Posey
- 3B Pablo Sandoval
- RF Hunter Pence
- 1B Brandon Belt
- LF Travis Ishikawa
- SS Brandon Crawford
- RHP Tim Hudson
