Chicago Cubs World Series Game 2 lineup includes Contreras, Soler
CLEVELAND — It's a rainy Wednesday afternoon at Progressive Field, but Major League Baseball remains hopeful of getting in Game 2 of the World Series between the Chicago Cubs and the Cleveland Indians.
The game has been moved up to a 6:08 Chicago time start. The afternoon rains are supposed to stop later in the day, but more rain is forecast for later tonight.
The Cubs have made two changes in their position-player lineup tonight. They will go with Willson Contreras behind the plate to catch Jake Arrieta. Jorge Soler starts in right field.
In Game 1, Chris Coghlan started over Jason Heyward, who has been benched because of a prolonged slump.
