Final Thoughts: You just had a feeling with Heyward;s Spider-Man catch, and Rizzo saving Ross from committing an error on a foul out, that the Cubs were not going to lose at Wrigley and give the Indians their first championship in 68 years. 

As for the Indians, the Tribe couldn't hit with RISP. 

Tbe series shifts back to Cleveland, as Josh Tomlin will go on short rest for the Indians, and Jake Arrieta will go for the visiting Cubs.
