CHICAGO -- The Chicago Cubs didn't get to existential crisis stage during their season-saving, 3-2 win in Game 5 of the World Series, but they got darned close. Against a Cleveland Indians staff that was piling up zeros, someone needed to do something. Who better than the presumptive MVP?
We don't know yet if Kris Bryant will actually be named this year's National League Most Valuable Player, but he's the leading candidate, with a Hank Aaron Award already in his possession. The vote has been in for awhile, so nothing Bryant had done in the World Series will matter for the award.
