CLEVELAND (AP) The World Series is level at 1-1 after the Chicago Cubs won 5-1 at Cleveland on Wednesday.
Cubs starter Jake Arrieta did not give up a hit in the first five innings to set up a victory that has Chicago in good shape going into three straight home games, starting Friday when Wrigley Field will host its first World Series game since 1945.
Kyle Schwarber, who missed almost the entire season with a knee injury, drove in two runs for Chicago.
Both teams are aiming to end long World Series droughts: the Indians last won it in 1948 and the Cubs 40 years before that.
