Chicago Cubs fight to stay alive in World Series Game 6 against the Cleveland Indians


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.
The game begins at 8 p.m. ET on Fox, with streaming available on Fox Sports Go and MLB.TV.
