Indians outfielder Coco Crisp attracted more attention. Wearing a backpack, the left-hander, who pitched 4 1/3 scoreless innings against Toronto in the ALCS, blended into the crowd as he made his way to Progressive Field.
WHO WON WORLD SERIES 2016 SERIES
The Indians rookie pitcher walked to work virtually unrecognized Tuesday before Game 5 of the World Series against the Cubs. One start made Ryan Merritt a postseason hero, but he’s hardly a household name.

Here’s the Cubs’ batting lineup: Dexter Fowler CF, Kris Bryant 3B, Anthony Rizzo 1B, Ben Zobrist LF, Schwarber DH, Baez 2B, Chris Coghlan RF, Addison Russell S and David Ross C. 7 to 51 the following day.Ĭhicago Cubs slugger Kyle Schwarber is starting Tuesday night’s World Series opener against the Cleveland Indians at designated hitter. When the Series last was at Wrigley in 1945, TWC said the high temperature ranged from 74 degrees on Oct. The network said the day-time highs in Chicago are expected to be at least in the mid-60s on Friday and close to 70 on Saturday. The Weather Channel also predicted the wind will be blowing out at Chicago’s Wrigley Field at 10-20 mph for Game 3 on Friday night. The Weather Channel predicted a 25 percent chance of rain for the start of Game 2, with the percentage increasing to 55 percent by 10 p.m. The weather is clear for Tuesday night’s World Series opener and a game-time temperature of about 50 degrees is forecast, but there is a chance of rain during Game 2 on Wednesday night. Francona said the biggest hesitation in making the move is that Santana has played only one career game in left.
Santana took fly balls in left the past few days, and Francona said the first baseman/DH is willing to play the outfield. Indians manager Terry Francona says he’s considering playing Carlos Santana in left field at Chicago’s Wrigley Field, where Cleveland will not have the designated hitter for Games 3-5 against the Cubs. Kipnis, who injured his ankle in the postgame celebration following Game 5 of the American League Championship Series in Toronto, ran the bases better than expected on Monday, and the Indians aren’t concerned his injury will be an issue. Indians second baseman Jason Kipnis’ sprained left ankle won’t keep him out of Game 1 against the Cubs.
