He has tossed nine scoreless innings with 16 strikeouts and three walks.---9:55Bryan Shaw has worked a scoreless seventh inning out of the bullpen to preserve Clevelands 1-0 lead over the Chicago Cubs in Game 3.---9:50 p.m.Actor and comedian Bill Murray led the crowd in a rousing version of Take Me Out To The Ball Game during the seventh-inning stretch.Murray, a huge Cubs fan, reminded the crowd of 41,703 that it was the last chance to buy beer, and then said they were there to win games rather than drink. He also said he was going to sing Take Me Out To The Ball Game as the cartoon character Daffy Duck.---9:45 p.m.Cleveland has broken through in the seventh inning of Game 3, taking a 1-0 lead on an RBI single by pinch-hitter Coco Crisp off reliever Carl Edwards Jr.Roberto Perez, the light-hitting catcher who homered twice in Game 1, got things started with a leadoff single. Pinch-runner Michael Martinez advanced on Tyler Naquins sacrifice and went to third on a wild pitch.After a walk to Rajai Davis, Crisp batted for reliever Andrew Miller and singled to right field. The Indians might have had a good chance for more, but Davis was thrown out at third by Jorge Soler.---9:20 p.m.Featuring that wicked slider, Indians reliever Andrew Miller has struck out the top three batters in Chicagos lineup during a perfect sixth inning. Game 3 is still scoreless.---9:05 p.m.Andrew Miller is on for the Indians after replacing starter Josh Tomlin with a runner on second and two outs in the fifth inning.The left-hander retired pinch-hitter Miguel Montero on a line drive to right field.Both starting pitchers are out of the game.---8:55 p.m.The Cubs escaped a bases-loaded jam in the fifth when reliever Justin Grimm got Francisco Lindor to ground into an inning-ending double play.Grimm entered after Kyle Hendricks plunked Jason Kipnis with a pitch. The right-hander went after Lindor with breaking balls and got ahead 0-2. The count ran full before Lindor grounded a curve to second base.Grimm gave a huge fist pump and shouted along with first baseman Anthony Rizzo at a roaring Wrigley Field after the Cubs turned two to keep Game 3 scoreless.Hendricks gave up six hits and struck out six in 4 1/3 innings. He gave Grimm a big hug back in the dugout.---8:30 p.m.Indians starter Josh Tomlin has allowed only one hit through four innings, and Game 3 is still scoreless.Cubs pitcher Kyle Hendricks threw a called third strike past Roberto Perez with runners at the corners to end the top of the fourth.Hendricks made a fine defensive play earlier in the inning to prevent Cleveland from scoring. Runners were at first and second when Chicago tried to turn a 3-6-1 double play. The relay to first bounced in the dirt as Hendricks was running over to cover the bag, but he picked it clean.That kept Francisco Lindor at third base. Lindor, who has singled twice, is 5 for 9 in the Series (.556).---8:25 p.m.The Cubs honored former Buffalo Bills coach and World War II veteran Marv Levy during Game 3 as part of their military appreciation program.The 91-year-old Levy was greeted with loud cheers when he was introduced during the fourth inning.Levy, a Chicago native, coached the Bills to four straight Super Bowls from 1991-94. He was on furlough from the Army Air Corps when he attended the previous World Series game at Wrigley Field in 1945.---8 p.m.Three innings in the books and Game 3 between the Indians and Cubs remains scoreless.Cleveland had an excellent opportunity to jump ahead in the first inning after Jason Kipnis reached on a one-out infield single and went to third on Francisco Lindors single to left-center.Chicago starter Kyle Hendricks, however, picked off Lindor at first base. Lindor initially was called safe, but the ruling was overturned after a replay challenge by the Cubs.Mike Napoli struck out to end the inning.Both starting pitchers in control on a windy night at Wrigley Field, hosting its first World Series game since 1945.---7:15 p.m.Game 3 between the Chicago Cubs and Cleveland Indians is underway.Carlos Santana swung and missed at a cutter from Kyle Hendricks on the first pitch of the night and struck out swinging on four pitches.The Cubs and Indians split the first two games in Cleveland. This is the first World Series game at Wrigley Field since Hall of Fame slugger Hank Greenberg helped the Detroit Tigers to a 9-3 victory in Game 7 on October 10, 1945.---7 p.m.Jerry Tomlin made it to the World Series to see his only son pitch.Two months after nearly losing his life to a spinal condition that has left him partially paralyzed, Tomlin sat behind home plate in a wheelchair as Josh Tomlin started for the Cleveland Indians against the Chicago Cubs.A moment hell never forget.Its hard to put into words, said the elder Tomlin, wearing an Indians cap and sweatshirt. I didnt know what I was going to say when I got here and I still dont. The way everything planned out and the way people helped me to get here, man, its definitely a dream come true. There was no way I was going to miss this.When Josh was growing up in Whitehouse, Texas, he and his dad -- like so many fathers and sons -- would pretend they were playing in the World Series. And for it to be happening, on the night the Cubs were hosting their first Series game since 1945, was almost beyond the 57-year-olds wildest imagination.How could you plan it out or write it out any better than what it is? he said. To be here for this historic thing theyre having here and to be the first World Series here and my first World Series and my son to be here, I dont know, man, its just hard to explain.---6 p.m.Indians manager Terry Francona is admittedly biased, but he would like to see the designated hitter used in both World Series ballparks.After playing all season with a DH -- except for interleague road games -- the Indians wont have one during their three games at Wrigley Field.Francona said the rules are what they are but he believes American League teams are penalized by the inability to use their best lineups.I dont think it makes it a bad game, he said before Game 3. I just dont necessarily agree with this. I just think you set your team up the way you set it up and then you get to the most important games and youre doing something different.On top of not having their best hitters in the lineup, Clevelands pitchers will have to hit -- something theyve barely done all season.Its a disadvantage, Francona said. It doesnt mean you cant win.For the record, Cleveland starter Josh Tomlin takes a lofty .500 career batting average into Game 3. And its legit -- 6 for 12, including 2 for 5 this year with a double.---3 p.m.Jorge Soler is the starting right fielder for the Chicago Cubs for Game 3, and Carlos Santana is in left for the Cleveland Indians .The Cubs tried to get Kyle Schwarber medically cleared to play left, but doctors said no on Thursday. That meant Ben Zobrist stayed in left instead of moving to right, and manager Joe Maddon decided on Soler for right.Chicago also had rookie Willson Contreras at catcher, batting fifth. Soler was in the sixth slot, followed by second baseman Javier Baez, shortstop Addison Russell and pitcher Kyle Hendricks.Santana, Clevelands usual designated hitter, was playing his second career game in left. He also played four innings at the position in 2012.Santana also was in the leadoff spot. Rookie Tyler Naquin got the start in center, batting eighth, and Lonnie Chisenhall was in right, batting sixth.---2:15 p.m.Those notorious, game-changing winds are beginning to whip at Wrigley Field.After a fairly calm morning in Chicago, the wind is picking up and heavy gusts of 40 mph are expected during Game 3, which could send some routine fly balls to left field into the bleachers -- or on to Waveland Avenue -- for home runs.Hey, this is the Windy City.The flags bearing the retired jersey numbers of Cubs greats Ernie Banks, Ron Santos and Ferguson Jenkins, were flapping in a stiff breeze atop the left-field foul pole as members of the grounds crew prepared the infield as a dozen pigeons circled the pitching mound.The wind has always been a factor at Wrigley, turning pitching duels into high-scoring affairs or knocking down balls that might otherwise be over the wall.It could be a problem for the Indians, who are expected to start designated hitter Carlos Santana in left. Hes only played four innings there in his career.---1:20 p.m.After waiting 71 years to witness a World Series game, Chicago Cubs fans can hardly contain themselves.More than six hours before the first pitch of Game 3, thousands of fans -- many of them wearing jerseys with names like Banks, Sandberg and Rizzo on their backs -- were already in the streets ringing Wrigley Field on Friday as the Cubs prepared to play the Cleveland Indians.Its the first Series game at the fabled ballpark since 1945, and many Chicagoans skipped work to begin a weekend of baseball theyll never forget.There was a long line outside Murphys Bleachers, the renowned tavern on the corner of Sheffield and Waveland Avenues. Vendors worked the crowd, one of them peddling a T-shirt that said, I Aint Afraid of No Goat.Generations of Cubs fans believed their team was denied a trip to the Series partly because of The Curse of the Billy Goat, which began when a Chicago tavern owner supposedly put a hex on the team after it refused to let his pet goat, Murphy, into Wrigley Field during the `45 Series.The Cubs havent won the World Series since 1908. Its only been a 68-year drought for the Indians, who last won it all in 1948. Wayne Ellington Jersey .Y. -- Paul Byron and Matt Stajan scored as the Calgary Flames started a five-game road trip with a 2-1 overtime win over the Buffalo Sabres on Saturday afternoon. Tim Hardaway Jersey . No. 13-seeded John Isner and No. 21 Philipp Kohlschreiber were among six players who dropped out of the tournament on Tuesday, joining No. 12 seed Tommy Haas and two other players who withdrew on Monday. http://www.cheapheatjerseys.com/?tag=cheap-chris-bosh-jersey . Mats Zuccarello and Derek Stepan scored shootout goals, and backup goalie Cam Talbot earned his second win in two nights as the Rangers shook off a late tying tally and beat the Maple Leafs 2-1 Monday night. Josh Richardson Jersey . Giroud, who wasnt in the starting lineup for two matches after allegations about his private life and a decline in form, scored twice in the first half. Tomas Rosickys chip made it 3-0 before half time at Emirates Stadium, while defender Laurent Koscielny scored an unmarked header in the second half. Dion Waiters Jersey .ca looks back at the stories and moments that made the year memorable.Sky Sports Phil Clarke has identified eight young players he thinks will have an impact in Super League this year... In a competition of over 300 players its pretty hard to pick out the stars of the upcoming season, but Ive selected a group who I think will entertain and excite us both this season, and for several more after it.Most of them were born on or around the time that Super League started and, as we enter our 21st season, this group are the ones set to light up 2016. Tom Johnstone (Wakefield Wildcats) Junior club: StanningleyHe was the star of the Million Pound Game and excited me every time he got the ball. His try-scoring record in 2015 was amazing, especially when you take into account that he played for a team at the bottom of the table.He scores the kind of tries that could well have him mentioned in Try of the Season talks in October.Jack Logan (Hull FC) Junior club: SkirlaughHis introduction to Super League hasnt been that pleasant or enjoyable. His debut at Wigan in 2014 wasnt a great experience but hes shown his resilience in 2015 and started to improve as each game passes.It doesnt surprise me that hes been given the No 4 jersey in the squad, hes arguably one of the most exciting centres around. I think hell eventually play for England if he can continue to improve in defence.Ryan Hampshire (Castleford Tigers) Junior club: Normanton KnightsHe played in 15 of Wigans games last year and was at one time being picked ahead of Matt Bowen, but that was as a full-back.The word on the street is that he wants to play in the half-backs and hopes to do that under Daryl Powell. Hes fast and he knows how to play rugby league. Hell add another attacking threat to the Tigers this season.Niall Evalds (Salford) Junior club: SiddalLearning how to be a Super League player at Salford isnt easy, but this young man seems to have worked a lot of it out for himself. He scored nine tries in the last 11 games of 2015 for Salford and has more speed than most of his rivals.Scott Taylor was the only team-mate to make more metres than him in 2015 and hes slowly starting to develop his passing to add another string to his bow.Jake Connor (Huddersfield) Junior club: SiddalIm not sure I know what his best position is yet, or if hes quite developed the self-discipline to maximise his talents, but he can do things on a field that very few others can.ddddddddddddIf he can focus his aggression in a positive way he could have a brilliant 10-year career in Super League.Theo Fages (St Helens) Junior club: CatalansJust like Niall Evalds, hes had to learn the hard way at whats looked like a dysfunctional set-up at Salford. He moved from France and has played over 60 games in the last 3 years - I wonder how many young English players could have moved to France at the same age and developed the way he has.Hes been able to watch and learn from Michael Dobson and Rangi Chase, and now has Sean Long as a mentor. After playing in one of the weaker teams for the last few years hes now at one of the strongest. It was a great long-term decision by the Saints to sign him and I think well be mentioning his name a lot in 2016.Dominic Manfredi (Wigan) Junior club: Leigh MinersLast year was a fairy-tale season. He began the year playing for Workington at Derwent Park and ended it playing for Wigan at Old Trafford. He averaged around a try a game in Super League in 2015 and could possibly be better than both Joe Burgess and Josh Charnley.Hes fit, fast, fearsome and fresh, and has a great chance of ending the year as a top-try scorer.Liam Sutcliffe (Leeds) Junior club: Hunslet WarriorsHis 2015 season ended with a knee injury in June and he had to watch as his team-mates lifted three trophies in quick succession. He already has almost 60 appearances as a Rhino and has proven that he can play well as either a full-back, stand-off or loose forward.Hes a better attacking threat than Kevin Sinfield, but can he defend and kick as well as the legend that he replaces? It would surprise me if he does not win the Man of Steel award in the next four or five years.
