Stay here for inning-by-inning updates and analysis from Game 5 in Chicago.
Mike Clevinger came on in relief of Trevor Bauer to start the bottom of the fifth. He quickly retired Dexter Fowler on a fly to left. Kris Bryant came up to a few scattered “M.V.P.!” chants, and his one-out walk got a huge cheer from the crowd. Anthony Rizzo then flew out to center.
With two outs, Ben Zobrist was at the plate and Bryant took advantage of Clevinger’s deliberate move to home by stealing second. Roberto Perez’s throw was well out of Francisco Lindor’s reach and the ball sailed into center, which allowed Bryant to advance to third.
