The Chicago Cubs are fighting to stave off elimination as they return to Ohio's Progressive Field for Game 6 of the World Series against the Cleveland Indians on Tuesday night.

With the best-of-seven series teetering at 3-2, an Indians win at home would give them the Commissioner's Trophy, while the Cubs are hoping to force a Game 7. Josh Tomlin will be on the mound on short rest for Cleveland, while a well-rested Andrew Miller waits in the bullpen. Chicago will start Jake Arrieta, and with the series back in an American League park, the Cubs will have a threatening Kyle Schwarber in their designated hitter spot.
