CHICAGO -- One more win and baseball fans everywhere might finally believe in these Cleveland Indians.Thats all it will take for Corey Kluber & Co. to clinch this World Series.Kluber pitched six sparkling innings on short rest for his second victory this week and the Indians beat the Chicago Cubs 7-2 Saturday night, taking a 3-1 lead and nearing their first championship since 1948.Jason Kipnis hit a three-run homer in his hometown and Carlos Santana connected for the first of his three hits as manager Terry Franconas team won for the second straight day at Wrigley Field.Trevor Bauer gets the ball Sunday night when the visiting Indians try for the franchises third World Series title against Jon Lester and the faltering Cubs.I think we like the position were in, but the task isnt done yet, Kluber said. We still have one more game to win, and were going to show up tomorrow and play with the same sense of urgency weve played with until this point. We dont want to let them build up any momentum and let them get back in the series.Still, not bad for a team that seemed like an underdog all year long.The Indians topped the defending champion Royals and star-studded Tigers for the AL Central title, then came the postseason. No one thought they would beat Big Papi and Boston, outslug Toronto or ever end their drought before the charmed Cubs, who led the majors with 103 wins.Well, look who is on the brink of hoisting the hardware.Weve got one more to get and its probably going to be the hardest victory of the year, but this is a special night for me and this team to take the first two here, said Kipnis, who grew up a Cubs fan on the north side of Chicago.Kipnis had three hits and scored two runs as Cleveland moved to 10-2 in this postseason. Francisco Lindor contributed an RBI single, helping Francona improve to 11-1 in the World Series.The Indians now will try to bring another crown to Cleveland, adding to the one LeBron James and the Cavaliers earned earlier this year.We have a ways to go. Were not done, Francona said.Dexter Fowler doubled and scored in the first for the Cubs, and then homered against Andrew Miller in the eighth. Fowlers drive to left-center was the first homer for Chicago in the World Series since Phil Cavaretta connected in Game 1 in 1945 and the first run allowed by Miller during his dominant postseason.In between Fowlers two hits, the Cubs came up empty every time they had a chance to put any pressure on Cleveland.So we made mistakes. Absolutely, we made mistakes tonight, manager Joe Maddon said. That was part of it. But then again, we just have to do more offensively to give ourselves a chance.The Indians won for the second straight day at Wrigley -- those two wins matched the Cubs entire total of World Series victories in more than a century of playing at their famed ballpark.Theyre obviously doing something right, taking advantage of our mistakes and my mistakes, Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant said.Pitching on three days rest for the second time, Kluber allowed five hits, struck out six and walked one. The steady, stoic right-hander, who struck out nine in a dominant performance in Game 1, improved to 4-1 with a 0.89 ERA in five playoff starts this year.Francona put Santana at first after starting him in left in Game 3, and Mike Napoli was out of the starting lineup for the time in the playoffs. And just like the rest of October, the decision worked out quite well for the Indians.Santana led off the second with a drive to right against John Lackey, tying it at 1. Santanas third homer of the playoffs silenced the crowd of 41,706, and the Indians seized the momentum from there.Two throwing errors on Bryant, including one on Klubers infield single, led to an unearned run that put Cleveland ahead to stay. Kipnis connected for his second playoff homer in the seventh, pointing to his friends and family in the stands after powering the Indians to a 7-1 lead.Were mortals. Were baseball players. Its what we live for, Kipnis said. At this kind of stage its what we all dream about.MORE ON KLUBERKlubers 0.89 ERA is the second-lowest for a single postseason for pitchers with at least 30 innings. Burt Hooton allowed three earned runs in 33 playoff innings for the 1981 Dodgers. Kluber is tied with Orel Hershiser (1995) for the Indians record for most strikeouts in a single postseason with 35.Just an unreal job by Kluber on three days rest, Lindor said.STEPPING UPCubs right fielder Jason Heyward made his first start of the World Series and responded with two hits. The 27-year-old Heyward, who signed a $184 million, eight-year contract with Chicago last winter, was just 2 for 31 in 12 playoff games coming into the night.UP NEXTIndians: Bauer lasted just 3 2/3 innings in Game 2, allowing two runs and six hits. The right-hander had a career-best 12 wins during the regular season, but is 0-1 with a 5.00 ERA in three playoff starts.Cubs: Lester dropped to 3-1 with a 1.35 ERA in four career World Series starts when he allowed three runs in 5 2/3 innings in the opener Tuesday night. The left-hander was the co-MVP of the NL Championship Series, going 1-0 with a 1.38 ERA in two starts against the Dodgers.---Jay Cohen can be reached at http://www.twitter.com/jcohenap Nike Huarache EspaƱa . -- Jonathan Drouin gave Halifax the boost it needed to edge host Sherbrooke Phoenix 3-2 in a shootout in Quebec Major Junior Hockey League action. Puma Rihanna Baratas . Instead of dwelling on the negative, Oates focused on what was good about the clubs recent play. It worked. http://www.rihannacreeper... . MORITZ, Switzerland -- Fog prevented downhill racers from getting their Olympic dress rehearsal. [url=http://www.rihannacreeperpuma.es/puma-by-rihanna-creepers-baratas.html]Puma By Rihanna . -- In a span of seven Washington Redskins offensive plays, Justin Tuck sacked Robert Griffin III four times. Nike Roshe Two Flyknit Baratas . A lawyer for MLB, Matthew Menchel, confirmed Wednesday the league dropped its case against Biogenesis of America, its owner Anthony Bosch and several other individuals. The lawsuit had accused Biogenesis and Bosch of conspiring with players to violate their contracts by providing them with banned performance-enhancing substances. SAN DIEGO -- Luis Perdomo regretted letting the opposing pitcher generate much of Colorados offense on Friday night.Tyler Chatwood had two important hits, including a two-run triple against Perdomo, while pitching the Rockies to a 4-1 victory over the San Diego Padres.Perdomo (7-9) permitted four runs and eight hits in 6 2/3 innings. He struck out four and walked four, but lamented the hits by Chatwood most.Hes the guy who did the most damage against me in the game, so I dont feel good about that, Perdomo said.Charlie Blackmon homered in the second inning after Chatwoods leadoff single. Chatwood also tripled in the seventh past a drawn-in outfield, extending the lead to 4-1.I havent been very good this year, so they were getting on me telling me I needed to bunt for a hit, Chatwood said. I told them I didnt need to, that I could still swing it. I got lucky tonight and found some holes.Alex Dickerson homered in the second, San Diegos only hit off Chatwood until the fifth.Weve had trouble with him before, Padres manager Andy Green said. He executed his number of really good pitches he threw in crucial situations.Making his second start since returning from a back injury, Chatwood (11-9) allowed one run and four hits over 6 2/3 innings. He struck out five and walked one, improving to 3-0 against San Diego this season.I think I threw way more fastballs tonight than I nnormally do, and I throw a lot of fastballs, Chatwood said.dddddddddddd. I just felt good with it and I could locate it. It was fun to be a part of that tonight.The right-hander tossed eight shutout innings in his previous start at Petco Park in May.He has done a lot, especially on the road, Rockies manager Walt Weiss said. He has been lights out. Felt like he had his good two-seamer. He mixed in some breaking balls, not too many, but enough to keep them guessing.Jake McGee and Boone Logan had scoreless outings in relief. Adam Ottavino worked the ninth for his third save.DJ LeMahieu extended his career-best hitting streak to 26 games with a single in the third for Colorado.We played well tonight, Weiss said. We had some good hits, timely hits. It was a good night.TRAINERS ROOMPadres C Derek Norris had his right arm examined after getting hit by a foul ball Thursday night, but X-rays were negative. Norris was available off the bench.UP NEXTRockies: RHP Jon Gray (9-7, 4.51 ERA) looks to rebound after allowing five runs over seven innings at Arizona in his last start. He is 2-0 with a 2.77 ERA in two career starts at Petco Park.Padres: LHP Christian Friedrich (4-10, 4.99) has thrown a career-high 104 2/3 innings going into Saturdays outing.
