Almost There: Chicago On Cusp of CS Triumph After 6-2 Win
The Chicago Cubs moved to within one game of the World Series today, downing the visiting Washington Nationals at Wrigley Field by a score of 6-2. Cubs right-hander Ruben Rivas had a strong outing in which he threw 7.0 innings allowing 2 runs. The win gives the Cubs a 3-1 advantage in the best-of-7 Championship Series.

Matt Wightman dealt the Nationals a blow in the bottom of the second. Batting with runners on 1st and 3rd and Chicago leading 2-1, Wightman, who finished 5th in the NL in wins above replacement with 5.8 in 2090, hit a 1-1 circle change for a 2-run double.

"No time for posing," said Rivas. "The next game will be here before you know it."

The next game is set to be played for Monday, October 30th , 2090 at Nationals Park in Washington.
