NOTES: Cubs LF Ben Zobrist, who went 1-for-5 in Game 7, hit. Ramirez, Guyer, Davis and Coco Crisp had two hits apiece for Cleveland. Schwarber and Fowler each had three hits for Chicago. Indians starter Corey Kluber, making his third start of the series, the last two on three days’ rest, allowed four runs on six hits in four-plus innings. Hendricks allowed two runs (one earned) on four hits in 4 2/3 innings. Lester was in the game after replacing Cubs starter Kyle Hendricks in the fifth inning. Zobrist lined a double into the left field corner, scoring Almora and moving Rizzo to third. The Indians then intentionally walked Anthony Rizzo. Kris Bryant flied out to deep center field, allowing Almora to move to second. On Wednesday, with the score tied at 6, and after a 17-minute rain delay, Kyle Schwarber led off the top of the 10th inning with a single off Bryan Shaw (0-1). The 1997 Florida Marlins topped the Indians 3-2 in 11 innings. Cleveland had the home-field advantage in the series but lost three of the four games played at Progressive Field.Ĭleveland’s last visit to the World Series also ended with an extra-inning loss in Game 7. They are the first team to win Games 6 and 7 on the road since the 1979 Pittsburgh Pirates did it in Baltimore. The Cubs are only the seventh team in history to win a World Series after being down 3-1. “So it’s great to get beyond that because we’ve got a chance to be good for a long time.” “I respect what happened in the past, but if you carry that burden with you all the time, this (winning the World Series) would never happen,” Maddon said.
