The Chicago Cubs have forced a Game 7 versus the Cleveland Indians in the 2016 World Series. Jake Arrieta pitched well, and Addison Russell led the charge with two RBI's in the first inning, and a grand slam. The Indians defense let down Josh Tomlin when Tyler Naquin and Lonnie Chisenhall couldn't communicate and allowed Russell's fly ball to drop allowing Ben Zobrist and Anthony RIzzo to score. Zobrist ran over Roberto Perez at home plate who could not hold on to the baseball. Why Joe Maddon would bring Aroldis Chapman into a 7-2 game is a little strange with Game 7 looming. Chapman seemed to have hurt his foot when he touched first base just getting Francisco Lindor, but he continued to pitch. Terry Francona should have a fresh bullpen for Game 7 with Andrew Miller and Cody Allen having the night off. This sets up for Game 7 Wednesday night at Progressive Field where Corey Kluber will square off against Kyle Hendricks. It's 1948 versus 1908, and too bad this is it for the 2016 baseball season!
