Perez hit a solo rocket in the fourth to support ace Corey Kluber and a three-run shot in the eighth, both into the left-field seats, that accounted for four of Cleveland's runs in a decisive 6-0, 15-strikeout shutout of the Cubs at Progressive Field, causing jubilation among the Tribe faithful.

Not many catchers have, certainly not in the World Series. Only legends Yogi Berra (1956) and Johnny Bench (1976) ever hit two home runs with four RBIs in a World Series game.
