Lineup breakdown: Royals vs. Giants, Game 4

In Game 4 of the World Series, the Royals look to take a 3-1 lead behind left-hander Jason Vargas. The Giants, hoping to even the series at 2, send right-hander Ryan Vogelsong to the mound.

Game 4 airs tonight at 7:30 p.m. ET on FOX, with first pitch at 8:07 p.m.

Here's a breakdown of the lineups:

ROYALS

The Royals are sticking with the same defense-first lineup that helped them win Game 3.

Kansas City didn't see Vogelsong earlier this year when San Francisco came to Kauffman Stadium, but second baseman Omar Infante is a sizzling .636 career hitter (7-for-11) against the righty.

Vogelsong struggled in Game 4 of the National League Championship Series, allowing four runs in three innings.

Buster Posey has homered off Vargas, while Pablo Sandoval is 3-for-9. Brandon Belt is 2-for-4 against the lefty, with a double.
