Stay here for inning-by-inning updates and analysis from Game 5 in Chicago.
With one out, Rajai Davis singled to left, setting up a much-anticipated showdown between Cleveland’s best base stealer and the pickoff-averse Jon Lester.
Lester, who chose not to throw to first base in Game 1 even when he clearly had caught Francisco Lindor cheating off the bag, let Davis get a huge lead on the first pitch to Jason Kipnis, but Davis wisely anticipated a pitch-out and was merely bluffing. On the next pitch, however, Lester threw a strike and Davis was already gone, sliding in to second without a throw as Ross dropped the ball.
