The Cleveland Indians played Game One of the World Series about as perfectly to script as they could have hoped. An early lead, a dominant performance by Corey Kluber, and a bullpen that locked things down gave the Tribe a 1-0 lead in the Fall Classic.
Catcher Roberto Perez had a monster game yet again in the playoffs, hitting two home runs and driving in four runs. The Tribe catcher’s three-run dinger in the bottom of the eighth was the nail in the coffin for Chicago.
Cleveland put two runs on the board against Chicago starter Jon Lester in the first inning, all with two outs.
