Chicago Cubs’ vaunted defense set the tone early in Game 1

CHICAGO >> Jon Lester threw Yasiel Puig a sinker over the outside corner of the plate, and the right-handed hitting outfielder did what he was supposed to do: He took the ball the other way.Off the bat this looked like a "seeing-eye single," a term baseball folks use for a well-placed hit. Yet as the ball inched its way toward a barren patch of dirt between first and second base, Anthony Rizzo appeared out of nowhere.
