Following Monday's marathon win against the Cubs, the Giants are now a win away from forcing a decisive Game 5.
But before we start talking about Game 5, let's talk about Game 4. We've already told you how to watch, now here are the starting lineups.
Chicago Cubs
- CF Dexter Fowler
- 3B Kris Bryant
- 1B Anthony Rizzo
- LF Ben Zobrist
- SS Addison Russell
- RF Jason Heyward
- 2B Javier Baez
- C David Ross
- RHP John Lackey
San Francisco Giants
- CF Denard Span
- 1B Brandon Belt
- C Buster Posey
- RF Hunter Pence
- SS Brandon Crawford
- 3B Conor Gillaspie
- 2B Joe Panik
- LF Gregor Blanco
- LHP Matt Moore
Both teams have tweaked their lineups.

The Cubs have reinserted Heyward, Baez, and Ross in their lineup -- each failed to start in Game 3, with Heyward sitting due to his platoon splits. Ross' inclusion means the Cubs will have started a different backstop in each game.
The Giants, meanwhile, have made a minor change -- flipping Gillaspie and Crawford in their batting order. Ho hum.
