Lester, Heyward Power Cubs to 7-1 Win Over Indians

Jon Lester pitched six strong innings on a mound where he helped make history and Jason Heyward hit a three-run homer, leading the Chicago Cubs to a 7-1 win over Cleveland.

The Indians welcomed back manager Terry Francona after he missed eight games with a medical issue.

Lester allowed one run and three hits as the Cubs moved to 11-3 for the first time since 2016.

Four years ago, the left-hander pitched three scoreless innings of relief in a drama-filled Game 7 of the World Series when the Cubs beat the Indians to win their first title since 1908.
