 Cubs 2, Indians 1
Kris Bryant slugged a game-winning homer in the bottom of the ninth
as the Chicago Cubs beat the Cleveland Indians.
Bryant's solo shot to left, his 20th homer of the season, gave the
Cubs their 12th walk-off victory and concluded a pitcher's duel that
ended with neither starter getting the win.
Cubs left-handed starter Jon Lester was one out away from a 1-0
shutout win but gave up a run-scoring single to Indians first
baseman Carlos Santana in the top of the ninth.
Indians starter Corey Kluber was nearly as effective in throwing six
shutout innings before allowing a run in the seventh.
