CLEVELAND — Francisco Lindor has been one of the best all-around players in the Majors almost since the day he was called up to the big leagues in June 2015, but playing on baseball’s biggest stage can elevate a young star to an even greater level.

If fans outside of Cleveland didn’t know who Lindor was before, they had a nice introduction in Game 1 of the World Series on Tuesday night. The dynamic shortstop had three hits and a stolen base, and he was in the middle of much of the scoring that led to the Indians beating the favored Cubs, 6-0.

• Game 2: Tonight, 7 p.m. ET game time on FOX (6 p.m. ET pregame show on FS1)

Lindor was the first of five batters to reach base in the first inning against Cubs lefty Jon Lester, who entered this start 3-0 with a 0.43 ERA (one earned run in 21 innings) in three previous World Series starts, all with the Red Sox.
