The Indians are four wins away from giving Cleveland a second professional sports championship in 2016 after going 52 years without one.
After beating the Blue Jays 3-0 Wednesday in Toronto to win the AL Championship Series in five games, the Indians will host the Cubs or Dodgers in Game 1 of the World Series on Tuesday, the same night the Cavaliers are scheduled to receive their NBA championship rings.
Cleveland hit a pair of home runs and an RBI double to chase Jays starter Marco Estrada after six innings. As we've become accustomed to seeing, the Tribe bullpen shut down the Jays bats after 4 1/3 scoreless innings from rookie left-hander Ryan Merritt to secure the win.
