(CBS) There are no surprises in the Cubs' lineup for a win-or-go-home Game 5 of the World Series on Sunday night.

Manager Joe Maddon is riding the group that got the team to this point. Jason Heyward will bat sixth and play right field, while David Ross will catch left-hander Jon Lester like usual. Javy Baez remains at second base and will hit seventh despite some recent struggles at the plate.

Willson Contreras will be available off the bench after starting the last three games at catcher.

Trailing 3-1, the Cubs face Indians right-hander Trevor Bauer. First pitch is at 7:08 p.m. and can be heard on 670 The Score.
