Cubs flip the script: Vintage Arrieta, Schwarber pull Chicago even in World Series

CLEVELAND -- Throwback Thursday came a night early for the Chicago Cubs as they used some vintage Jake Arrieta and Kyle Schwarber to even the World Series with the Cleveland Indians at 1-1.

It was late last season when the pitcher and catcher/outfielder emerged as stars in Chicago, Arrieta throwing his first no-hitter while Schwarber was hitting mammoth home runs and driving in his teammates in key moments. In Wednesday's Game 2, they were at it again. Arrieta went the first 5u2153 innings without giving up a hit and Schwarber went 2-for-4 with a walk and two RBIs to lead the Cubs to a 5-1 victory.
