With Saturday night’s 7–2 victory at Wrigley Field, the Indians took a commanding three games to one lead in the World Series and moved within one win of the franchise’s first championship since 1948.
Jason Kipnis provided the big blow, a three run homer to ice the game. The Cubs now have their backs to the wall but have their ace Jon Lester taking the mound against Trevor Bauer for the Tribe.
