At Chicago:
Starter Kyle Hendricks and relief man Aroldis Chapman combined on a two-hit shutout while Anthony Rizzo and Willson Contreras each hit a home run on Saturday night as the Chicago Cubs locked up their first National League Pennant (and first World Series berth) in 71 years with a 5-0 smothering of the visiting Los Angeles Dodgers in game six of the National League Championship Series, which the Cubs won four games to two.
Two Cubs, second baseman Javier Baez and pitcher Jon Lester, shared the series' Most Valuable Player award.
The Cubs will open up the World Series against the Indians in Cleveland on Tuesday, in search of their first world championship since 1908.
The Cleveland Indians are searching for their first World Series crown since 1948.
