CHICAGO --?Mike Napoli?returned to the?Cleveland Indians starting lineup at first base on Sunday for Game 5 of the World Series at Wrigley Field.?Carlos Santana?played in left field for Cleveland. The Indians are one victory over the?Chicago Cubs?away from winning the World Series.Indians manager Terry Francona sat Napoli in Game 4 as the Indians took a 3-1 series lead Saturday night. Francona played Santana instead at first, and the slugger responded by hitting a home run.In Game 3, Napoli was at first base, while Santana started in left -- his first career start at the position -- and played five innings before he was replaced. Santana caught the only fly ball hit to him on a gusty night in Wrigley Field.Napoli, who had started Clevelands first 11 games of the postseason, pinch hit in the eighth inning of Game 4 and flew out to the warning track in center.With a chance for the Indians to win their first World Series title since 1948, Francona is going with the same lineup he used in Game 1 against Cubs left-hander Jon Lester?-- with Santana in the outfield since the designated hitter is unavailable in the National League ballpark.Lester is scheduled to start for Chicago on Sunday against?Trevor Bauer.The Indians may be down one player with right fielder Lonnie Chisenhall?sick.Francona said Chisenhall was stricken with a stomach bug Sunday afternoon. He came with the team to Wrigley Field, but the Indians sent him back to the hotel so he wouldnt infect other players. Chisenhall?was getting rest and liquids, but Francona said he wouldnt know until closer to game time whether he will be available.Chisenhall is just 1-for-13 in the World Series.Brandon Guyer is starting in right field, but that was the plan all along.?Rajai Davis?is slated to bat leadoff and play center for the Indians.For the Cubs, slumping Jason Heyward?is slated to remain in the lineup in right field after getting a pair of hits in Game 4.Cubs manager Joe Maddon has inserted catcher David Ross into Sundays lineup in place of Willson Contreras. Ross, 39, who is retiring after the season, usually catches for Lester.Heyward, in his first season with the Cubs after signing an eight-year, $184 million contract, was 2-for-31 (.033) with 1 RBI in the postseason before going 2-for-4 Saturday in Chicagos 7-2 loss.On Sunday, center fielder Dexter Fowler?is scheduled to lead off for the Cubs, followed by third baseman Kris Bryant, first baseman Anthony Rizzo, left fielder Ben Zobrist, shortstop Addison Russell, Heyward, second baseman Javier Baez, Ross and Lester.Information from The Associated Press was used in this report. Billy Cundiff Jersey . Tracey comes to the Blue Bombers after spending over a decade with Queens University. Most recently he was the schools assistant football coach. Jaylon Ferguson Jersey . Manuel was offered a position the day he was fired. He accepted earlier this week and the team made the announcement Friday. http://www.customravensjersey.com/custom-duane-starks-jersey-large-323d.html . -- Most satisfying to Russ Smith about No. Ed Reed Jersey . -- If this was Aaron Gordons final home game at Arizona, and it almost certainly was, then he went out in style. Marlon Brown Jersey . Vettel was 0.168 seconds faster than Red Bull teammate Mark Webber around the Suzuka circuit. Mercedes driver Nico Rosberg was two tenths of a second off Vettel. "The car balance is decent, but I think we can still improve," Vettel said. NEW YORK -- CP3 mimicked giving CPR on a night that looked like lots of laughs for Los Angeles.Funny turned to fiery by the end, as an enraged Doc Rivers was thrown out as his team blew one in Brooklyn.Sean Kilpatrick scored 31 of his career-high 38 points after the third quarter and the Nets stopped a seven-game losing streak with a 127-122 double-overtime victory over the Clippers on Tuesday night.The Clippers started the game without Blake Griffin, ended it without Rivers and dropped their third straight game by coughing up an 18-point lead while not showing enough respect for the game in their coachs mind.We were walking around like we done something and that bothers me because weve done (nothing). We havent done (anything), Rivers said. For us to walk around against a team, that to me is playing their hearts out every night just to win one game, us to walk around like we done something, it bothers me on a basketball level.Chris Paul had 26 points, 13 assists and 10 rebounds for the Clippers, but the best guard on the floor in crunch time was Kilpatrick, who also had a career-best 14 rebounds.Brook Lopez added 27 points for the Nets, who trailed 86-68 with 2 minutes left in the third quarter.We were down 20, then next minute you know we just kept chipping it down, Kilpatrick said. Then next minute I knew we were down four, and I was like yo, its on now. Its game time.DeAndre Jordan had 21 points and 23 rebounds for the Clippers, who rested Griffin, their leading scorer, ahead of a game in Cleveland on Thursday.Anybody in the league knows, they say, you mess with the game and like you said, the basketball gods got us, Paul said.The Clippers started 39-year-old Paul Pierce, who had played in just two games, in place of Griffin. Pierce had played just 17 minutes all season but logged 29 minutes in this one, such an increase in workload that Paul pushed down on his chest a few times on the court at one point, pretending to give CPR after Pierce fell on his back while being fouled on a dunk attempt.The Clippers were serious by the end.Rivers was tossed late in the first OT, becoming enraged and having tto be held back by Clippers players and assistants as he tried to get at referee Ken Mauer.dddddddddddd. Rivers appeared upset about a call on the other end of the floor, walking out of the coaching box and almost all the way to the Nets bench.Mauer said crossing over midcourt was an automatic technical and the second was for language and behavior.Rivers missed Kilpatricks masterful finish, which he capped with a three-point play with 13.5 seconds left.The Nets, still playing without point guard Jeremy Lin, ended a skid that started with a 127-95 loss at the Clippers on Nov. 14.Los Angeles had lost in Detroit and Indiana in its last two games, managing just 70 points Sunday against the Pacers in its lowest-scoring game in 13 years. Rivers pointed to some defensive lapses as the bigger concern, and they certainly struggled to stay in front of Kilpatrick, who was just 3 for 14 after three quarters.TIP-INSClippers: J.J. Redick made a 3-poiner in his 75th straight game, tying one of Stephen Currys streaks for sixth-longest in NBA history. Currys NBA-record 157-game streak was snapped earlier this season.Nets: Coach Kenny Atkinson still couldnt give a timetable on Lin, saying the point guard who missed his 12th straight game with a strained left hamstring was working hard and progressing as planned.DOC IS JUST A NICKNAMEThe Clippers have increased their spending on biometrics this season, and Rivers -- first name Glenn -- was asked if he relied on that to determine Griffin would sit.I clearly didnt, Im not smart enough to use biometrics, Rivers said. But the people we hired did, and they told me biometrically that this would be a good day for him to rest.UP NEXTClippers: Visit Cleveland on Thursday night. The Clippers have lost the last four meetings.Nets: Host Milwaukee on Thursday night, opening a home-and-home series against former Nets star and coach Jason Kidds Bucks, who have won the last five meetings.---Follow Brian Mahoney on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/Briancmahoney ' ' '
