The Chicago Cubs win Game 5 and stay alive in the 2016 World Series versus the Cleveland Indians. Jon Lester pitched well while Kris Bryant, Anthony Rizzo, Ben Zobrist starred at the plate. Joe Maddon went to his closer Aroldis Chapman in the 7th inning. Rizzo and David Ross combined for a great play on a foul ball reminding everyone of the 1980 World Series where Pete Rose and Bob Boone made a very similar play! Cleveland played well, too, with Trevor Bauer giving up only three runs, and Rajai Davis had some timely stolen bases, but Francisco Lindor was thrown out, and other breaks didn't go the Tribe's way including an outside strike three from Jon Lester to Brandon Guyer. Game 6 will be played at Progressive Field on Tuesday night November 1, 2016. Wow!
