Marcus Stroman, Ian Kinsler Lift Team USA To First World Baseball Classic Title
Share this: Go crazy, Team USA — when Ian Kinsler isn’t looking, of course. For the first time ever, the Americans won the World Baseball Classic final Wednesday with a commanding 8-0 win over Puerto Rico at Dodger Stadium. Marcus Stroman was the star of the game, as he allowed zero hits through six innings before giving up a leadoff single in the bottom of the seventh inning. The talk heading into the big game was Kinsler’s apparent dig at Latin American players in a New York Times article. But that didn’t seem to faze him, as the second baseman belted a two-run home run in the top of the third inning. And a pair of RBI singles by Christian Yelich and Andrew McCutchen in the

So, when the Cleveland Indians left fielder’s name was called to pinch hit for reliever Andrew Miller in the top of the seventh inning Friday night at Wrigley Field, we probably should have predicted he’d do something like this: That RBI pinch-hit single proved to be the difference, as the Indians took Game 3 1-0. It also gave Cleveland a 2-1 advantage in the best-of-seven-game series.NESN.com
Terry Francona Still Hasn’t Lost A World Series Game; Indians Crush Cubs
Share this: Corey Kluber was stellar, Andrew Miller dazzled again, Roberto Perez brought the big bat and the Cleveland Indians lead the World Series after a 6-0 victory over the Chicago Cubs. Kluber, Cleveland’s ace, pitched six strong innings, scattering four hits and striking out nine batters. In the second inning, Kluber became the first Indians pitcher ever to strike out the side in a World Series game. Andrew Miller took over for Kluber from there, and though he got himself into a jam in the seventh and eighth innings — including a bases loaded, no-out jam in the seventh — he escaped unharmed and preserved what at the time was a 3-0 lead. The Indians got on the scoreboard pretty quickly in the first
