With the Chicago Cubs' 5-1 victory over the Cleveland Indians023 ArchivesWednesday night, the 2016 World Series is tied at one game apiece.
The best-of-seven series picks up on Friday at Wrigley Field in Chicago. Here's how you can watch Game 3:
Time:8:08 ETTV:FOXStreaming:Fox Sports Go and MLB.TV
To get you ready for Game 3, here are a few quick facts:
Teams that have won Game 1 — that's the Indians this year — have won 24 of the last 28 World Series.
The Cubs would need to take the next three games, but they could win their first World Series since 1908 on Sunday in Game 5. Winning it at home would be even sweeter for Chicago.
Standing room tickets for Game 3 are selling for $2,225 on StubHub. That's the cheapest option.
And here are some bigger talking points for the World Series:
Cubs slugger Kyle Schwarber has defied the odds. After tearing his ACL on April 7 and missing the entire regular season, Schwarber was activated last weekend and added to the World Series roster.
Many thought he'd be too rusty to really make a difference, however Schwarber's been anything but. The 23 year-old has three hits, two RBI and two walks in nine World Series at-bats.

Here's the catch.
Doctors only cleared Schwarber to hit and run the bases — he's been the Cubs' designated hitter in Games 1 and 2. But the DH only applies in American League stadiums, meaning the Cubs would have to stick Schwarber in the outfield to keep his bat in the starting lineup.
That won't happen, Cubs president Theo Epstein announced on Thursday.

Schwarber will likely be used in a pinch-hitting role for the next three games.
Indians ace Corey Kluber made the Cubs' offense look foolish in Game 1. The former Cy Young Award-winner struck out nine in six innings, before giving way to Andrew Miller and Cody Allen, the Indians' seemingly invincible relievers.

It was a different story in Game 2.
Chicago made Indians starter Trevor Bauer labor through 3.2 innings. Bauer surrendered two runs before the Indians bullpen (without Miller and Allen) coughed up three more, giving the Cubs a 5-0 lead by the fifth inning.
On the backs of elite pitching — Kluber, Miller and Allen — the Indians are scary.

But Cleveland can't ride those three every game.
Game 2 exposed the Indians' biggest hole — two of their best starting pitchers went down with injuries before the postseason, forcing Cleveland to rely on good-but-not-great pitchers like Bauer and Game 3 starter Josh Tomlin.
Kluber is already penned to start Game 4 on short rest. Miller and Allen didn't pitch in Game 2, so they'll have a couple days to get fresh.
But the Indians will need contributions from other pitchers if they're going to win this thing.
