Royals, Giants set World Series Game 6 lineups
The Royals need a win to force a Game 7, while the Giants can end the entire 2014 season with victory.
Jake Peavy will take the mound for the Giants in Kansas City, as San Francisco tries to topple the Royals and end the World Series in six games. He'll be facing off against Yordano Ventura, the Royals' third-best starter from 2014, but also a pitcher who had a better year than everyone in San Francisco save maybe their top starter, Madison Bumgarner. Peavy -- and Game 7 starter Tim Hudson -- started the two games the Royals have won in this series thus far, though, so the pressure is on both sides in Game 6.
Michael Morse is back in the starting lineup for the Giants now that the designated hitter is once again in play. The Royals are back to their standard AL lineup as well, with Alex Gordon pushed down to the sixth spot, Norichika Aoki batting second and in right, with Jarrod Dyson waiting on the bench for when he's needed for pinch-running, defensive purposes, or both.
This could be it, but if not, we’ll likely see similar lineups for a winner-take-all Game 7 on Wednesday, just with different starting pitchers to tackle them.
Do @Royals have more magic? Or will @SFGiants stand tall in the baseball world? http://t.co/AmBjXEPcuM #WorldSeries pic.twitter.com/jxp9JW3vrM
