World Series Game 2: Cubs Jump on Indians in First Inning

Things were awfully quiet for the Cleveland offense. Jake Arrieta only needed two pitches to retire Lonnie Chisenhall and got Coco Crisp to line out to Javier Baez for the second out. Tyler Naquin worked into a full-count but he struck out swinging to end the inning.

Javier Baez got the inning started by hitting a chopper to third base that Jose Ramirez couldn’t bare-hand on a bad hop. It will look like a line drive in the box score as Baez reached first for a single. But Trevor Bauer was unfazed, getting fly-outs from Willson Contreras, Jorge Soler and Addison Russell to end the inning.
