On Friday night, the Cleveland Indians took care of business, as the World series traveled to Chicago’s Wrigley field, for game three. The series was tied, with both teams having only one win. The Cubs were excited to host a World Series game for the since 1945, when they played the Detroit Tigers. The Tigers won three of the four games that took place in Chicago and would go on to win the seven game Series 4-3. Game three of the World Series that took place Friday in Wrigley Field was back and forth. However, that tables would turn and the ball would fall in Cleveland’s favor. In the top of the seventh inning, Roberto Perez singled the pitch from Carl Edwards to right field. Michael Martinez would then enter the game as a designated runner for Perez. Martinez then made his way to second. Following, Martinez landed himself to third base, after a bad pitch from Edwards.  Rajai Davis had a walk-off single that sent him to first. With Davis on first and Martinez on second, Andrew Miller would fire a crisp out to right field, allowing Martinez to score, as Davis would be thrown out.  The Cleveland Indians would go on to win the inning and eventually pull the plug on the party in Wrigley with a 1-0 victory.  The Indians would enter game four with a 2-1 series lead.

Game four took place in Chicago Saturday, as the Cubs looked to recover and tie the series. However, the defense for the Cubs would mistake their way to another loss, as the Indians would continue to reign victorious. Dexter Fowler scored the first of only two points for the Cubs in the bottom of the 1st, following his double to left and Anthony Rizzo’s single to right center, allowing Fowler to reach home plate. Cleveland their first two points on the board, during the second inning. Carlos Santana scored the first point of the night, as he powered a home run to right field.

That was not the only runs that Cleveland would score.  They added another run to the board in the top of the third inning. Jason Kipnis would send a double to right and Francisco Linder would single to right center, which then allowed Kipnis to score.  Cleveland maintained a 3 -1 score, until the top of the sixth inning, when they would attack the Cub’s struggling defense.  Francisco Linder would score in the sixth, following some help and sacrifices from his teammates. The Indians would later rule the 7th inning as they would score three more runs. Jason Kipness homered to right allowing Crisp and Davis to also score.  Dexter Fowler would score the only other run for the Cubs and the game as he homered to left center field. That would give the Indians a 3-1 series lead setting the stage for game five.

Game five took place at Wrigley Field in Chicago after the atrocity of a loss that the Indians gave Chicago on Saturday night. Jose Ramirez homered to left field scoring the first run in the top of the second inning. The fourth inning belonged to Chicago, as they answered Cleveland’s 1-0 lead, by scoring three huge runs. Kris Bryant homered to left center. Anthony Rizzo would score as he doubled to right field. Ben Zobrist would single to right. This would setup the scoring situation. Russel would make his way to third as Rizzo would go to home; Zobrist would reach second to end the play. David Ross would power a scarifice hit to left field sending Zobrist home to score the third point. Chicago won the game 3-2, in order to punch their ticket  into game six, which will take place on Tuesday night in Cleveland.
