Cubs find getting hits too tough a Hill to climb

Fourteen months removed from independent ball on Long Island, Rich Hill pitched the Los Angeles Dodgers into a 2-1 NL Championship Series lead on Tuesday night.

Hill allowed two hits in six innings to beat Cy Young Award winner Jake Arrieta and Yasmani Grandal hit a two-run homer in the fourth inning as the Dodgers beat the Chicago Cubs 6-0.

"I knew there was going to be an opportunity to get back to the big leagues as long as I stayed healthy and I felt strong," said Hill.
