CLEVELAND -- Chicago Cubs outfielder Jason Heyward again finds himself on the bench for a World Series game as manager Joe Maddon has elected to start Jorge Soler in right field in Game 2 against the Indians on Wednesday night.Indians manager Terry Francona more than tweaked his lineup for Game 2. Switch-hitting designated hitter Carlos Santana, who batted fifth in the opener, will lead off against Cubs right-hander Jake Arrieta. Also, Tyler Naquin will replace Rajai Davis in center field and Coco Crisp will play in left instead of Brandon Guyer.Heyward sat in Game 1 on Tuesday as lefty Chris Coghlan played against righty Corey Kluber. This time Maddon is sitting Heyward in favor of the right-handed Soler who is 0-for-8 this postseason with two walks and three strikeouts. Heyward is hitting .071 in 28 at-bats and has been benched numerous times throughout the playoffs.The Cubs like the matchup enough to start Soler as Bauer is tougher on lefties than righties, although Soler is not a gd cold weather hitter. Hes hitting .169 with a .552 OPS when the temperature is less than 50 degrees, according to ESPN Stats and Information. Hes a .266 hitter with a .782 OPS when its 50 degrees or over. The temperature is expected to be about 47 degrees at game time.Just give it a shot. Out of that particular position were just lking for some production, Maddon said, adding: If you have the opportunity to make a choice Id rather chse the righty over the lefty.Francona likes Santana at the top of the order because of his patience at the plate. He walked 99 times during the regular season. Santana also hit 34 home runs and has set the tone with several homers to open games.Maddon has also elected to start righty Willson Contreras behind the plate with Arrieta on the mound. Contreras is 9 for 22 (.409) in the postseason and provides a stronger arm to negate the Indians running game.Cleveland led the American League in stolen bases. Lefty hitter Miguel Montero had been Arrietas quasi personal catcher for the latter portion of the season but wont start Game 2.Kyle Schwarber is the designated hitter for the second straight night.According to the Elias Sports Bureau, the Cubs Game 2 lineup is the first in postseason history with six players who are 24 years old or younger: Kris Bryant, Soler, Contreras, Schwarber, Javier Baez, Addison Russell.The Associated Press contributed to this report.Swell Bottle Kopen .

Connor Chartier also scored for the Chiefs (3-0-0). Luke Harrison spoiled Garrett Hughsons shutout bid with a power-play goal at 13:17 of the third period. The Spokane goaltender finished with 28 saves, including a Brandon Fushimi penalty shot in the second period that would have tied the game 1-1. http://www.swellkopen.be/swell-waterfles.html .

The lawyers filed a 33-page amended complaint Tuesday in federal court in Manhattan, expanding on the suit originally filed Oct. 3 in New York Supreme Court.

With the first unit struggling of late and Amir Johnson - one of the teams iron men - hobbling on an injured right ankle, Patterson knew he could get the nod in a challenging matchup against one of the leagues up and coming players at his position.Tyler Wright has already been crowned world champion, but she has one more title to claim before she finishes off her incredible year: The Maui Pro in Hawaii.Wright has swept all before her in 2016, winning four of the nine events and reaching at least the quarter-finals in all but one.However she has never won at the prestigious season-ending stop and is determined to put her name in the record bks as a champion where her previous best result came in 2014.It was also her most heartbreaking Maui event.That year she lost the final to Hawaiis Carissa Mre and the result cost her a shot at the world title in what would have been a surf off with fellow Australian Stephanie Gilmore.Wright is determined to make sure this year is a different result though, especially now she has been freed from the pressure of trying to win the title.Ive just got to do my job, Wright told AAP last month.Its what Ive done all year.Ill go there with the same mindset to win every heat and win every final.ddddddddddddSince claiming the title in France she has enjoyed a lay off from the sport but has been kept busy with a plethora of media interviews, her title win catapulting her to stardom at home.Wright will start her Maui campaign against South African Bianca Buitendag in her first-round heat, along with a yet to be named wildcard.Wright is one of six Australians to compete at the Maui event - all having wrapped up their qualification for next years series.Sally Fitzgibbons and Keely Andrew face off in the first-round non-elimination heat, while Nikki Van Dijk takes on the USAs Courtney Conlogue and Chelsea Tuach of Barbados.Laura Enever takes on last years winner Mre and the USAs Lakey Petersen, while four-time Australian champion Stephanie Gilmore faces locals Malia Manuel and Coco Ho.
