Sports editor prediction game 3: Cubs win

The World Series is headed to Chicago tonight after the Chicago Cubs tied the series at one game a piece with a 5-1 victory over the Cleveland Indians.

The major storyline for the Cubs is designated hitter Kyle Schwarber not being cleared to play the field. This means Schwarber, whose driven in two runs and has an on-base percentage of .556 in the first two games of the series, will be limited to pinch-hitting only.

This more than likely means Cubs outfielder Jason Heyward will be reinserted into the lineup tonight. Heyward’s bat has struggled mightily all season, and he was benched during the first two games of the World Series.
