Cubs rout Indians, return home level in SeriesCLEVELAND -- Get ready Wrigley Field. The Chicago Cubs are coming home with a chance to win their first World Series crown since 1908 in front of their devoted but long-suffering supporters. Jake Arrieta threw five hitless innings and the Cubs captured their first World Series triumph since 1945 by routing the Cleveland Indians 5-1 Wednesday to level Major League Baseball's best-of-seven championship showdown at one win each. "Having a World Series to root for, it's going to be incredibly special," Cubs manager Joe Maddon said. "It was so cold I tried to go to the bathroom in the fourth inning and I couldn't," Francona said.
