After a Kris Bryant Solo Tater the Chicago Cubs get a huge gift as an Addison Russell routine fly turned into #ShaqtinAFool and the Cubbies scored two more runs for a 3-0 lead. That lead, behind Cubbies starter Jake Arrieta (W, 2-0) who went 5 and some change allowing two runs on three hits, held up a Russell then went "Granny" in the 3rd for a 7-0 Cubs lead and hey never looked back. Tribe starter Mike Tomlin was rocked giving up a crooked six runs in just over two frames.

Arrieta's only trouble was in the 4th as he allowed a Jason Kipnis run (on a Mike Napoli RBI single)  but then got out of a bases loaded jam to end that frame at 7-1 Cubbies. Kipnis was the only real factor for the Tribe as he finished going 3 for 5 with a solo HR.

Cubbies first baseman Anthony Rizzo then finished the night off with a two-run jack to right field for a final score of 9-3 Cubbies as the Tribe adds another run in their half of the 9th. Just like that we get a game #7 as Uncle Mo dba Momentum has completely turned in favor of the Chicago Cubs heading into game #7.

Looking closely at this the North Siders are playing on House Money after being down 3-1 but whoever gets out that gate fast and furious in game #7 will capture Uncle Mo and most likely get a parade route.

It will be Kyle Hendricks taking on Corey Kluber with both teams using all pitchers at their own disposal. With everyone hitting the off-season after this tilt both teams will be all out for a must-see t.v affair!
