Chicago Cubs drop series finale in Cleveland, lose 4-3

Rookie designated hitter Kyle Schwarber connected on his first big league home run during the top of the fifth inning – a two-run shot that would tie things up at three apiece prior to the game being delayed by rain for the second time today.

Cleveland – who suffered the 17-0 loss to the Chicago Cubs last night – grabbed the early 2-0 lead over Jason Hammel in the bottom half of the first inning. Michael Brantley pushed the Indians ahead 1-0 on a ground-rule double to left field which put runners on second and third with first baseman Carlos Santana due up next.
