The Cleveland Indians aren't ready to see those "blown 3-1 series lead" memes just yet.
With two outs in the bottom of the eighth inning and the Indians trailing 6-4, outfielder Rajai Davis hit a game-tying two-run home run off Chicago Cubs closer Aroldis Chapman in Game 7 of the World Series.
It was Davis' first career postseason home run, and the latest game-tying homer in postseason history. It traveled 364 feet, and wouldn't have been a home run in two major-league parks, according to ESPN Stats & Info - one of which is Wrigley Field.
The Indians entered the eighth inning down by three runs, but thanks to a clutch RBI double by lefty masher Brandon Guyer, the team cut the lead to 6-4, leading to Davis becoming the unlikely hero.
Chicago and Cleveland are looking to end championship droughts of 108 and 58 years, respectively. Buckle up for what should be a fantastic finish.
