The first pitch of the 2016 World Series, the most anticipated in a decade, maybe longer, arrived at 8:10 p.m. ET and cut through the crisp 50-degree chill of a night this city needed. An hour earlier, the Cleveland Cavaliers handed out their championship rings, and a stone's throw away the unlikely Cleveland Indians sent Corey Kluber to the mound to vex the Chicago Cubs like he had hitters throughout baseball for the previous four seasons. Kluber set team and World Series strikeout records within the first three innings, didn't relent over the next three and handed the final three to the Indians' lockdown bullpen, which stymied the Cubs in a 6-0 victory at Progressive Field that staked the Indians a 1-0 lead in the best-of-seven series.
