CLEVELAND (AP) -- Corey Kluber and the Cleveland Indians are off to a pitch-perfect start in the World Series.
The Chicago Cubs, meanwhile, fell completely flat in their first appearance since 1945.
Kluber dominated into the seventh inning, Roberto Perez had four RBIs with a pair of home runs and the Indians beat the Cubs 6-0 in Tuesday night's opener of a highly anticipated matchup between the teams with baseball's longest championship droughts.
"It's almost like you have that extra level of intensity," said Kluber, who became the first Series pitcher to strike out eight batters in the first three innings.
