We have a series talking 2K16 Fall Classic as the Chicago Cubs even up their series with the Cleveland Indians at 1-1. Cubbies Skipper Joe Maddon went with @JArrieta34 for game #2 and he and the North Siders were dead on.

Jake from the "Friendly Confines" was dealing as he goes 5 and 2/3 frames striking out six and walking three. Then Tribe didn't get their first base knock until the Jason Kipnis double in the bottom half of the 6th. The Cubs then went to the Pen as they led 5-0 before Kipnis racked up his two-bagger.

Kris Bryant started things in the  1st with a single only to be knocked in by an Anthony Rizzo double as they led 1-0 after one. Then Kyle Schwarber's single knocked in Rizzo in the 3rd for a 2-0 Cubs lead. The North Siders then ran up their tab to 5-0 in the 5th highlighted by a Ben Zobrist RBI triple and a Schwarber RBI single.

The Tribe scored in the 6th on a Arrieta (WP) Wild Pitch as Mike Montgomery and Aroldis Chapman joined forces to close out the night with a Cubs 5-1 victory.

Game 3-5 shifts to the North Side of Chi-City starting Friday October 28th as the Cubbies will have Josh Tomlin for Cleveland and Kyle Hendricks for the Cubbies.
