World Series: Game 1 lineups
For most of the season, Aubrey Huff batted third or fourth for the San Francisco Giants. He has not batted in a lower position since June 5.
However, Huff is batting .256 with no extra-base hits in postseason play, and he has not homered in his past 65 at-bats. With left-hander Cliff Lee starting for the Texas Rangers, the Giants dropped Huff to sixth for Game 1 of the World Series on Wednesday.
