For the first time since 1945, the Cubs are going to the World Series. In Game 6 of the NLCS at Wrigley Field on Saturday night, they got to Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw for two first-inning runs, forced him to throw 30 pitches in that frame, and just kept adding to their lead while the listless Dodgers offense could do no damage against Kyle Hendricks, who allowed just one hit through the first seven innings while facing the minimum number of hitters. With their 5–0 win, the Cubs will now face the Indians in the World Series, which starts on Tuesday in Cleveland.
