With ace pitcher Corey Kluber on the mound and three rested top relievers in waiting, Cleveland Indians manager Terry Francona is confident his team can defeat the Chicago Cubs on Wednesday to win the World Series. The Cubs, trying to win their first title since 1908 to end America's longest sports title drought, ripped host Cleveland 9-3 Tuesday to level the best-of-seven Major League Baseball final at 3-3 and force a winner-take-all showdown Wednesday. Kluber, a right-hander, went 18-9 this season and is 4-1 in the playoffs.
