CHICAGO -- One way or another, there will be a championship celebration in Cleveland.Still to be determined? Whether the Indians or Cubs will be popping the champagne.The Cubs won a World Series game at Wrigley Field for the first time since 1945 and at least delayed Clevelands big party with a 3-2 victory Sunday night.Aroldis Chapman got the final eight outs in the longest appearance of his career, Jon Lester pitched six strong innings and Kris Bryant homered as Chicago cut the Indians lead to 3-2.So a World Series between the teams with baseballs longest title droughts goes back to Cleveland, with 2015 NL Cy Young Award winner Jake Arrieta set to start for the Cubs and Josh Tomlin going on short rest for the Indians in Game 6 on Tuesday night.Were writing our own history, Chicago shortstop Addison Russell said. Were making history. Why stop?His team rolled through the regular season with a major league-leading 103 wins, took out playoff-tested San Francisco in the NL Division Series and rallied to beat the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NL Championship Series. The Cubs were so dominant at times they had their long-downtrodden fans believing that, after decades of supposed curses and sincere heartbreak, this just might be the year.It still could be -- but it would take an historic effort. Only five teams have come back from a 3-1 deficit to win a best-of-seven World Series, most recently Kansas City in 1985.Standing in the Cubs way is a team and a city that knows a thing or two about title droughts.Cleveland endured a 52-year championship dry spell before LeBron James brought one home with the NBAs Cavaliers last spring. The Indians last won it all in 1948, which pales in comparison to a Cubs wait that dates to 1908.Were in good position, still, Cleveland slugger Mike Napoli said. Were up 3-2 going home. We did what we had to do here. We put ourselves in position to try and win it in a crazy atmosphere. Were happy with what we did here. Were going to get home and play in front of our fans.The Cubs are banking on another big effort from Arrieta and hoping for a better result against Tomlin.Arrieta took a no-hitter into the sixth inning and pitched the Cubs to a 5-1 victory in Game 2 at Progressive Field. Win on Tuesday and theyll send major league ERA leader Kyle Hendricks to the mound in Game 7.Of course, the Indians are also feeling good about their chances.After all, Tomlin tossed 4 2/3 scoreless innings in Game 3 before giving way to that nasty bullpen. And if it goes to Game 7, well, the Indians will have their ace in play, Corey Kluber.He -- like Tomlin -- would be pitching on short rest, unlike Arrieta and Hendricks. But when it comes to beating Kluber, the Cubs are 0 for 2 in this Series.Yeah, we get to go over there with two rested starting pitchers, Chicago manager Joe Maddon said. I like to believe were going to catch or gain some momentum from this game going back over there. But momentums always based on your starting pitcher, too. And again, with these guys you saw how good their bullpen was. Once again, its really important to grab that lead and hold onto it.There was plenty for Maddon to like about Game 5.The pitching performances by Chapman and Lester and the home run by Bryant topped the list. But how about Jason Heyward and his highlight-reel catch on Trevor Bauers foul fly down the right-field line in the third inning? Heyward planted his foot and grabbed the top of the wall, then reached back toward the field with his glove to snag the ball.Or what about Anthony Rizzo at first base?He had the crowd roaring in the second inning when he ran in and caught a foul pop by Carlos Santana that catcher David Ross deflected near the first base dugout.Rizzo also made a diving stop on Rajai Davis grounder down the line in the eighth. Chapman, however, said he fell toward third on his delivery and by the time he realized it was a fair ball, it was too late to cover first.Something else to consider:With the Series shifting back to Cleveland, the Cubs can use slugger Kyle Schwarber as their designated hitter again.Hes not permitted to play the field, but was cleared by doctors to hit. That was a neat October surprise for the Cubs after Schwarber missed almost the entire season because of a knee injury.Were always confident, Rizzo said. We get to see Tomlin now a second time on short rest. Im going to convince myself that ... hes not going to be as sharp. (Schwarber) is back and Im sure hes chomping at the bit.

DENVER -- It seemed like the Colorado Rockies were in good shape to take both of their home games against the Texas Rangers.A faltering bullpen cost them a chance to get either one.Adrian Beltre hit a two-run double, Elvis Andrus added a tiebreaking single and the Rangers scored four runs in the eighth inning to beat the Rockies 7-5 on Tuesday.The AL West leaders had five hits in the inning and handed Colorado another tough loss in the two-game sweep. The late-game rally came after the Rangers scored three times in the ninth to beat the Rockies 4-3 on Monday night.I feel that we have played very well the last couple nights, Rockies manager Walt Weiss said. But we didnt avoid the big innings, late. We have to be able to do that.On Tuesday, Texas had four consecutive hits off Scott Oberg (0-1) as Carlos Beltran drove in a run with a single and Beltre tied the game with a two-run double. Andrus gave his team the lead when he drove in Beltre with his second hit of the game.Colorados shaky bullpen performance comes after Carlos Estevez blew two ninth-inning leads in four days and was taken out of the closer role.The Rockies have lost five of six and finished their homestand 3-5. The teams head to Texas to begin a two-game set Wednesday.I didnt get things done, Oberg said. If I execute the right pitches, I hopefully get the results that I want. Unfortunately, today I wasnt able to do that.Tyler Chatwood allowed two runs in 6 2/3 innings and struck out a season-high eight for Colorado.Charlie Blackmon homered and doubled, rookie David Dahl tripled to extend his hitting streak to 15 games, and Nolan Arenado drove in his National-League leading 90th and 91st RBI for the Rockies.There are going to be a lot of periods over the course of a season where you feel like (you) missed an opportunity, Blackmon said. Today is definitely one of those.Blackmon hit Griffins fourth pitch of the game over the wall in right-center field for his seventh leadoff home run of the season. Later in the inning, Dahl tripled and Arenado brought him home with a single to extend Colorados lead to 2-0.Arenado and Gerardo Parra added RBI singles in the third. Mark Reynolds came off the bench aand drove in a run with a single in the fifth to push the lead to 5-1.ddddddddddddA.J. Griffin struggled in his start for the Rangers, allowing five runs in 4 2/3 innings. He avoided losing his first game since July 10 thanks to another Rangers late rally.Alex Claudio (3-1) threw 2 1/3 scoreless innings of relief and Sam Dyson picked up his 25th save in 28 chances.ESTEVEZ OUT AS CLOSEREstevez was removed from the Rockies closer role after blowing two save opportunities in four days. Estevez had five blown saves in 16 opportunities this season.Im going to get him out of that role for a little bit just to let him catch his breath, Weiss said. Hes made of all the right stuff. Hes going to be a great closer in this league for a long time.RHP Adam Ottavino will take the bulk of the save opportunities going forward, Weiss said. Ottavino was the teams closer before undergoing Tommy John surgery in 2015.NO WALKSChatwood didnt surrender a walk on Tuesday after he had given up 15 in his previous 18 innings.TRAINERS ROOMRockies: An MRI showed no new damage for OF Carlos Gonzalez (ankle), who sat out after he left in the second inning of Mondays 4-3 loss with left ankle inflammation.
