Cleveland Indians Seeks to End a 68-Year Drought

The Cleveland Indians will look to end a long 68-year drought without winning a World Series of baseball this Tuesday, when they host the Chicago Cubs at their Progressive Field, who need the victory to stay alive.

Indians are one win away from raising the trophy as the champion of the 2016 World Series, leading 3-2 over the Cubs, who have gone 108 long years without knowing what it is to win a 'Fall Classic'.

For this important sixth game of the series for the championship of the 'Major Leagues', the manager of the 'tribe', Terry Francona, decided to send his star right-hander Josh Tomlin (13-9) to the mound, who went without decision in the third game of this World Series.

In that match, Tomlin only gave up two hits in four and two-thirds innings of work, hence the confidence that the team has in this right-handed pitcher, who could give Cleveland their first title since 1948.

Meanwhile, Cubs manager Joe Maddon will send star right-hander Jake Arrieta (18-8) to the mound, who comes from winning game number two at the Progressive Field in Cleveland, Ohio.

Arrieta, who will make his fourth postseason start, already knows how to control the Indians' offense and in front of his own fans, which is why there is confidence in him to obtain the valuable victory that ties the series at 3-3.

The Cleveland Indians won their last crown, out of two they have, in the 1948 season when they defeated the now defunct Boston Braves by 4-2. Before that, in 1920, they won their first title.

The Cubs, who also have two World Series titles in their history, have not been able to raise the crown in 108 years, since they won their second championship in 1908, by defeating the Detroit Tigers. The first conquest was obtained in the 1907 season.
