In Game 2 of the World Series on Wednesday night in Cleveland, the Chicago Cubs beat the Cleveland Indians, and their 5-1 victory evened out the series at 1-1. Cubs pitcher Jake Arrieta allowed just two hits, struck out six, and walked three in nearly six innings. On the batting side, Anthony Rizzo kicked things off for the Cubs at the top of the first inning with an RBI double, and Kyle Schwarber got the first of his two RBIs hitting Rizzo home in the third. The Cubs scored their final three runs in the fifth, and Jason Kipnis got the Indians their only run in the sixth off a wild pitch. Game 3 will be played Friday at Wrigley Field.
