World Series Game 4 lineups feature big moves from both Indians, Cubs
Jason Heyward is getting his first World Series start in Game 4 at Wrigley Field.
The Chicago Cubs outfielder with the $184 million, eight-year contract was batting seventh and playing right field Saturday night against the Cleveland Indians, who held a 2-1 World Series lead.
Heyward, 27, did not start the previous four straight games. He is 2 for 31 (.033) with one RBI in the postseason.
Center fielder Dexter Fowler leads off, followed by third baseman Kris Bryant, first baseman Anthony Rizzo, left fielder Ben Zobrist, catcher Willson Contreras, shortstop Addison Russell, Heyward, second baseman Javier Baez and pitcher John Lackey.
Cubs' lineup
The Indians will start Rajai Davis in left field and move Carlos Santana to first base, putting veteran Mike Napoli on the bench. Despite Davis' struggles at the plate, hitting just .048 (1-21) this postseason, manager Terry Francona seemingly maximizes his defense with the move, figuring to have a low-scoring game with ace Corey Kluber on the mound.
