Chicago Cubs stay alive, win World Series Game 5

Breathe, Chicago Cubs fans. The Cubs aren’t done just yet.

Kris Bryant hit his first World Series home run, part of a three-run fourth inning, and the Cubs came away with a 3-2 win in Game 5 at Wrigley Field on Sunday night.

Cubs starting pitcher Jon Lester allowed two runs and four hits in six innings, striking out five, getting the win. Closer Aroldis Chapman recorded the final eight outs for the save.

The win keeps the Cubs’ World Series title hopes alive. They trail the Indians 3-2 in the best-of-seven series, which heads back to Cleveland. Game 6 is Tuesday at Progressive Field, where Chicago’s Jake Arrieta will face Cleveland’s Josh Tomlin.
