CHICAGO (AP) – One way or another, there will be a championship celebration in Cleveland.
Still to be determined? Whether the Indians or Cubs will be popping the champagne.
The Cubs won a World Series game at Wrigley Field for the first time since 1945 and at least delayed Cleveland’s big party with a 3-2 victory Sunday night.
Aroldis Chapman got the final eight outs in the longest appearance of his career, Jon Lester pitched six strong innings and Kris Bryant homered as Chicago cut the Indians’ lead to 3-2.
So a World Series between the teams with baseball’s longest title droughts goes back to Cleveland, with 2015 NL Cy Young Award winner Jake Arrieta set to start for the Cubs and Josh Tomlin going on short rest for the Indians in Game 6 on Tuesday night.
