The Cubs get a hit in the ninth, but nothing else as Cleveland takes game four of the 2016 World Series 7-2. The Indians worked well on both sides of the ball. Corey Kluber went six innings, walking one and striking out six. The bullpen walked none, struck out two, and allowed the first Cubs home run of the World Series.
On offense, the keystone combination came through, with Jason Kipnis and Francisco Lindor combining to go five for nine, Kipnis with a double and a home run. Carlos Santana got the start at first over Mike Napoli. The move payed off as Santana went three for four with a home run.
The Indians now have three cames to win one, two of those at home if needed. I do not count out the Cubs, but they played poor infield defense in game four, and didn’t show selectivity at the plate. We’ll see if that changes in game five.
