Lineups: Schwarber, Contreras, Soler for Cubs
- Updated: October 26, 2016
CLEVELAND — Kyle Schwarber was in the Cubs lineup for Game 2 of the World Series, batting fifth, but manager Joe Maddon decided to start catcher Willson Contreras and right fielder Jorge Soler tonight.
Miguel Montero had been paired with starter Jake Arrieta in the postseason but Maddon hinted that he might switch to Contreras, who has had better success throwing out baserunners. Soler is 0-for-8 so far in the postseason, but batted .474 in the playoffs last year.
