Baseball's World Series will go into a deciding match, after the Chicago Cubs hammered the Cleveland Indians 9-3 on home soil, to level the best-of-seven contest at three wins apiece.
The result never seemed in doubt after the Cubs raced into a 7-0 lead after three innings at Progressive Field in Cleveland.
Although the Indians reduced the deficit to five, after taking singles in innings four and five, the Cubs clinched a second straight win by adding two more runs of their own in the ninth and final innings.
Kris Bryant, who had four hits, homered for Chicago while 22-year-old Addison Russell smashed a grand slam.
The triumph kept alive Chicago's quest of winning their first title in 108 years, while Cleveland are chasing their first World Series success since 1948.
Cleveland, who have never trailed during this best-of-seven decider, will host the final match later on Wednesday.
Chicago's Kris Bryant said: "Anytime you get four runs on one swing and go up 7-0, that was huge. Just watching Addison, he's unbelievable.
"He's 22 years old, Gold Glove, hitting homers in the World Series. He's a pretty special player."
Russell's six RBIs put him in elite company tying him with Bobby Richardson (1960), Hideki Matsui (2009) and Albert Pujols (2011) for most in a World Series game.
