2016 World Series: Corey Kluber Handcuffs Cubs Bats Again As Indians Smother Chicago 7-2 For 3-1 Series Lead; Cleveland One Win Away From First World Title Since 1948

At Chicago:
USP MLB: WORLD SERIES-CLEVELAND INDIANS AT CHICAGO S [BBA OR BBN] USA IL
Corey Kluber pitched six innings of solid baseball on Saturday while Carlos Santana (solo shot, second inning) and Jason Kipnis (three-runner, seventh; that's him, on the center, ceelbrating with Coco Crisp afterward) each delivered a home run as the Cleveland Indians smothered the Chicago Cubs 7-2 on the road in the fourth game of the World Series.

The Indians, who lead the series three games to one, can lay claim to their first World Series title since 1948 with a game-five victory at Chicago's Wrigley Field on Sunday.

No team has come back from a three-games-to-one deficit to win a World Series since 1985, when the Kansas City Royals upended the St. Louis Cardinals.
