The Chicago Cubs tied the World Series with a 5-1 Game 2 victory over the Cleveland Indians.
In a lengthy four-hour contest moved up due to weather concerns, the Cubs collected nine hits and eight walks. Every starter reached base, including Kyle Schwarber, who continued his highly improbable comeback with two RBI singles.
Despite struggling to throw strikes early, Jake Arrieta took a no-hitter into the sixth. He allowed one run over 5.2 frames to earn his first victory of the postseason.
Trevor Bauer, meanwhile, lasted only 3.2 innings for the Indians. While he experienced no issues with his injured finger, he relinquished six hits, two walks and two runs during his brief start.
The Fall Classic now heads to Wrigley Field for the first time since 1945 at a 1-1 stalemate.
FINAL SCORE: Cubs 5 - 1 Indians
