A magnificent performance by pitchers Kyle Hendricks and Aroldis Chapman, who face the minimum 27 batters over 9 scoreless innings, drives the Cubs into the World Series for the first time since 1945 thanks to a 5 – 0 win over the Dodgers in Game 6 of the 2016 NLCS. Chicago scores twice against Clayton Kershaw in the bottom of the 1st, and Willson Contreras and Anthony Rizzo also homer off the ace lefty who leaves after five innings. The NLCS MVP Award is shared by Jon Lester and Javier Baez.
