The Cleveland Indians defeated the Chicago Cubs 6-0 in a game that both teams have been waiting for.
Anchoring the Indians was their veteran right-hander Corey Kluber, who shined under the bright lights at Progressive Field. Kluber, 30, started off the game with a World Series record eight strikeouts in the first three innings, according to USA Today.
“I thought [Kluber] had tremendous movement on all of his pitches,” Indians head coach Terry Francona said, according to MLB’s website.
The Indians did not take it easy on the Cubs after seeing them struggle early with Kluber.
