It’s a whole new World Series for the Cleveland Indians after Wednesday night’s defeat in Game Two at the hands of the Chicago Cubs. Things are all tied up 1-1 as the series shifts to Wrigley Field, essentially turning the Fall Classic into a best-of-five affair.
Cleveland, which saw Trevor Bauer and the bullpen struggle in Game Two, will be handing the ball to Josh Tomlin. In two starts this postseason covering 10.2 innings, the right-hander has allowed just three runs on seven hits, striking out 10 and walking three. Given the lack of depth the Indians have in their starting rotation right now, it’s difficult to overstate just how important Tomlin has been to the team in October.
