CHICAGO—This is a story about two bats. One of them was in the hands of Andrew Miller, the infrangible Cleveland Indians relief ace who is the special ops force of this 2016 postseason. The other one was in the hands of Kyle Schwarber, the Chicago Cubs’ beastly answer on offense to Miller’s specialty deployment.

The bat in the hands of Miller did not belong to him, as he stood in the on-deck circle in the seventh inning of what was a scoreless World Series Game 3 Friday night.
