DeKALB | The Chicago Cubs defeated the Cleveland Indians 3-2 in game five of the World Series on Sunday night, forcing a game six with the Indians up 3-1 in the World Series.
The Cubs got another good performance in six innings from Jon Lester, but were led by their strong closer in Aroldis Chapman, who pitched an uncharacteristic 2.2 innings and got the job done down the stretch.
A performance like his was exactly what the Cubs needed from Chapman. Cubs Manager Joe Maddon was forced to bring him in to pitch in the seventh inning and he never looked back.
