Jon Lester goes six innings, Cubs stay alive
Chicago Cubs pitcher Jon Lester pitched six innings on Sunday, allowing two runs on four hits, as the Cubs beat the Cleveland Indians 3-2. Cleveland's series lead now sits at 3-2.
What It Means:
This was Lester's second start of the world series, and a marked improvement over the three runs, six hits and three walks he allowed in 5 2/3 innings in Game 1.
The Cubs' chances of winning the series take a big jump with that win, but our models still have them as significant underdogs, with a 29.2 percent chance of being World Series champions.
