T2 - Schwarber earns a hard-fought walk. Continues his solid play in this 2-game series. Russell with a chance to pick up a big hit right here.

T2 || Cubs 0, Indians 0

T3 - Slumping Rizzo with a chance to put the Cubs on board right here with a big hit. Men on 1st and 2nd with 1 out for Cubs.

M3 - Killer breaking ball by Bauer on a K of Rizzo. Looked like Rizzo made up his mind beforehand that he was going to swing, though. Harmless grounder by Contreras ends the inning. 2 left stranded for Cubs.

Rajai Davis got under that one. Good thing for the Cubs it was Jon Lester pitching to him and not Aroldis Chapman.

FYI, Anthony Rizzo has now been HBP 100x for his career. Only the 2nd Cub to ever have that happen.

M4 - Quick inning for Bauer. He's dealing. Took only 10 pitches to get 3 outs. Combined 3 hits for Cubs and Tribe halfway through 4. Snoozefest at Progressive Field.

T5 - Rizzo collects his 3rd RBI of series on clutch single to right-center. 7 RBI on the year for the Cubs 1B.

Bauer up to over 80 pitches. Cubs have a chance to blow the game open here. Credit to Indians catcher Gomes for bailing Bauer out several times this game.

M5 - Cubs 1st to strike. Rizzo has had a productive series in Cleveland. Contreras with weak grounder with runners on 1st & 3rd to end inning. Cubs have left a few runners in scoring position so far.

J-Hey has a bad habit of making difficult plays in the outfield look too dang easy.

B5 - And, just like that, Brandon Guyer knots the game up at 1-1. Only the 2nd hit of the game for Indians. Mars an otherwise perfect start for Lester so far.

La Stella nearly had a foul-pole home run himself in the early goings. Near-misses could cost Cubs in this one.

About as deep a single as you can have on that hit by Russell. Bauer has caught a lot of breaks in this game. (Even though that play probably could've been made by RF.)

If that RF foul pole was shifted 15 ft. to the right, this would be an entirely different ballgame.

Honestly, has there ever been a game this heavily impacted by home runs/near-home runs hit near the foul pole?

Gotta feel for Lester. Has pitched better than Bauer but hasn't avoided the near-misses as well.

E6 - Solo HRs by Lindor and Encarnacion put Cleveland up by 2. Unfortunate inning for Lester. 2 bad pitches is all it takes.

Friendly banter between Puerto Rican players Baez and Lindor right there. Great hustle by El Mago could pay off for Cubs. Need a spark right now with a new pitcher coming in.

The baseball gods are paying Cleveland back for the '16 World Series. The Cubs might go all season and not experience an unluckier loss than this one. Just can't catch a break.
