WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. -- Three days after signing Martin Truex Jr. to a contract extension, Furniture Row Racing announced Sunday that it was adding a second car to its NASCAR Cup lineup to be driven next season by Xfinity rookie Erik Jones.Were excited to have all the components of a second race team, team owner Barney Visser said. Today has been a long time coming.Visser said the contract with the 20-year-old Jones is for one year, with the hope of extending it. 5-hour Energy will be the primary sponsor for Furniture Rows No. 77 Toyota for 22 races. Visser said the team would secure a charter for next years Cup season.Im excited, but anxious at the same time, said Jones, who had three Cup starts last year for Joe Gibbs Racing. Its a big learning curve, its a big jump. Youre going from a field where 10 or 12 cars can win to a field where 20 cars can.Its definitely going to be tough, but I think Im in the best situation to succeed, Jones said. Im as ready as I can be. At some point, youve got to make that jump. Youve got to sink or swim.Furniture Row president Joe Garone said the team had not yet signed a crew chief for the second Toyota.Jones, a native of Byron, Michigan, won the Truck Series title last year and has three Xfinity wins this year for Joe Gibbs Racing. His move to the Cup series will mark the first time a Toyota development driver has gone from local racing up through the NASCAR national ranks.To find a driver like Erik and a sponsor like 5-hour Energy along with our technical agreement with Gibbs, we think were going to be able to run right up where we need to run, Visser said.Denver-based Furniture Row Racing has emerged as a contender for the Cup title with Truex. He finished fourth last year after making it to the final round of the Chase. This season he has one victory, leads the series in laps led by a wide margin and has clinched another berth in NASCARs playoffs.Im really excited. I know a lot of things had to come together, said 36-year-old Truex, who will have 5-hour Energy on his car for two races in 2017. Allowing us to do a second car kind of helps keep those (sponsor) relationships strong, helps us build for the future. I think it bodes well for the future of Furniture Row Racing. Im excited to work with Erik.Truexs No. 78 also has received a boost in sponsorship. Bass Pro Shops and Tracker Boats will increase its primary sponsorship from 12 to 16 races in 2017.

CHICAGO -- The Chicago Cubs had one of baseballs best lineups during the regular season. Anthony Rizzo and Kris Bryant piled up big numbers, and Ben Zobrist, Dexter Fowler and Addison Russell contributed to a well-rounded attack.It has been feast or famine so far in the playoffs.The Cubs were shut out for the fourth time in their last eight postseason games when they lost 1-0 to Cleveland in Game 3 of the World Series on Friday night, handing home-field advantage right back to the Indians. Not even Kyle Schwarber could save the NL champions this time around.We were just out of the zone way too often, manager Joe Maddon said. Weve got to get our strike zones organized offensively, and if we do, well be fine.The Fall Classic returned to Wrigley Field for the first time in 71 years, attracting a raucous crowd of 41,703 and packing the bars and restaurants that surround the cozy neighborhood ballpark. Some of the fans dressed up in Cubs-related costumes, and there were periodic cellphone flashes in the stands all night long.But there wasnt very much for them to cheer about, especially when the Cubs were at the plate. Josh Tomlin pitched two-hit ball into the fifth inning, and Clevelands stellar bullpen took over from there.Fly-ball pitcher with the wind blowing out, its crazy how we dont hit fly balls, Rizzo said. Its the way it is. We knew its not going to be easy. Been in this situation before last series and we just got to come back and do what we do.Fowler, Bryant, Rizzo and Zobrist, the top four hitters in Chicagos lineup, went 3 for 15 with a walk. Javier Baez, the co-MVP of the NLCS along with pitcher Jon Lester, came up empty in two big spots.When youre facing good pitching, sometimes it happens, Zobrist said. We didnt have a lot of opportunities today. Tomlin pitched well and then their bullpen pitched well.Maddon went to Schwarber in the eighth, but Indians reliever Bryan Shaw broke his bat on aa weak popup to second.dddddddddddd Schwarber was one of the stars of the Cubs 5-1 victory in Game 2 on Wednesday night, contributing a pair of RBI singles, but he is relegated to pinch-hitting duties while the series in Chicago because he hasnt been cleared to play the field following major left knee surgery in April.The Cubs had one last chance in the ninth, putting runners on second and third with two out. But Indians closer Cody Allen struck out Baez with a high fastball , completing a five-hitter for Clevelands major league-record fifth shutout of the playoffs. Baez also bounced to shortstop with a runner on third for the final out in the seventh.Chicago went 0 for 7 with runners in scoring position and is batting .133 (4 for 30) in those situations in the series.I thought maybe the first game here with all the hoopla going on, it may have had somewhat of an impact for our young guys, Maddon said. But I have all the confidence in the world well fix it by tomorrow and work better at-bats.Game 4 is Saturday night, and it doesnt get any easier for Chicago. Corey Kluber goes on short rest for Cleveland after striking out nine in a dominant performance in the Indians 6-0 victory in Game 1. John Lackey pitches for the Cubs.Chicago, which scored more than 800 runs during the regular season for the first time since 2008, also was shut out in Games 2 and 3 in the NL Championship Series against Los Angeles. The Cubs then won three in a row to advance, outscoring the Dodgers 23-6 along the way.I dont think anybody is going to hang their head after today, Zobrist said. Its one game. Were still in a good position, 2-1. We came back and won three in a row last series so we knew we were going to have to beat Kluber anyway.---Jay Cohen can be reached at http://www.twitter.com/jcohenap ' ' '
