ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Andrew Luck isnt the only one who learned his lesson the last time Indianapolis and Denver played.The Broncos did, too.They entered the game with a 7-0 record a week after handing Aaron Rodgers the worst loss of his career, and they followed that by hammering Luck 11 times.Luck played through the pain and led the Colts to a 27-24 win. Afterward, he went to the hospital, where he was diagnosed with a season-ending lacerated kidney and torn abdominal muscle.He is tough, we all know that, said Von Miller, whose 61 career sacks dont include any of Luck. He is going to break a couple of tackles and run through a couple of defenders, and he is going to make some great passes. We all know what type of tough guy he is.Broncos coach Gary Kubiak sure does.Well, thats Andrew. I know him well from being in Houston there for years and watching him grow up. Heck, I watched him in high school and thats what he stands for, Kubiak said. He plays the game hard and he is going to be there all four quarters, and thats something were preaching to our guys this week.While Luck missed the final two months of the season, the Broncos recovered and went on to win Super Bowl 50 thanks to Millers two sack-strips of Cam Newton that led to 15 points in Denvers 24-10 win.In the offseason, Miller signed a six-year, $114.5 million contract that included $70 million in guarantees, both records for a nonquarterback. The only player with a bigger guarantee is Luck, who signed a six-year, $140 million contract two weeks before Miller that included $87 million in assurances.Luck is more cognizant now of protecting both his body and team owner Jim Irsays investment.As a quarterback you have an obligation to be on the field, Luck said. That involves taking care of your body. Situationally, there are times when I need to slide or throw the ball away and Ive been working on that. Youre going to go out there and take a hit if the games on the line or in (certain) other situations.But I think in every year Im trying to approach the game in a better, more efficient way. So, I guess this is somewhat of a natural progression, as well.The Broncos (1-0) hammered Newton 17 times in their Super Bowl sequel last week, although it took Graham Ganos missed 50-yard field goal in the closing seconds for them to walk away a 21-20 winner. Two of the hits, by linebacker Brandon Marshall and safety Darian Stewart, drew fines from the NFL .The Broncos insist they wont change their style in light of the consequences or criticism.No, thats part of the game, Miller said. When you step outside the boundaries you get fined. We did that a couple of times. Its kind of hard to differentiate whats right and whats wrong (during play), and everybody is moving around. Afterward, you get fined for the wrong plays and you just try to make it right and just try to keep playing.Usually, the cumulative effect of Denvers hard hits show on the QBs face and body language by the fourth quarter.With a quarterback like Andrew Luck, it really doesnt because after every hit he is shaking guys hands and congratulating them, Miller said. They should, but not going up against No. 12.Miller hasnt been able to sack Luck in three regular-season meetings and one playoff game. He said their O-line is stout, tackles Joe Reitz and Anthony Castonzo are solid, and their scheme is sound.Its just tough to get to Andrew Luck, Miller said, and when you get to him its tough to bring him down with the ball.Game notes WR Demaryius Thomas (sore left hip) looked smoother at Fridays practice than he did all week. DE Derek Wolfe (neck) returned to practice. ...

CLEVELAND -- Corey Kluber and the Cleveland Indians are off to a pitch-perfect start in the World Series.The Chicago Cubs, meanwhile, fell completely flat in their first appearance since 1945.Kluber dominated into the seventh inning, Roberto Perez had four RBI with a pair of home runs and the Indians beat the Cubs 6-0 in Tuesday nights opener of a highly anticipated matchup between the teams with baseballs longest championship droughts.Its almost like you have that extra level of intensity, said Kluber, who became the first Series pitcher to strike out eight batters in the first three innings.AL Championship Series MVP Andrew Miller escaped a bases-loaded, no-out jam in the seventh and stranded runners at the corners the eighth, preserving a three-run lead and delighting the sellout crowd of 38,091 in Clevelands first-ever Series home opener.The atmosphere in the World Series is so great, Miller said. You cant help but get caught up in it and enjoy it.The Indians pitched their fourth shutout in nine games this postseason. After stifling two dangerous lineups in Boston and Toronto during the AL playoffs, Cleveland shut down a hard-hitting Cubs team that scored 23 runs against the Dodgers in the final three games of the NLCS.Back in the Series for the first time since 1997, the Indians scored twice in the first off October ace Jon Lester.Perez hit a fourth-inning solo shot and added a three-run drive in the eighth against Hector Rondon, becoming the first Cleveland player and the only No. 9 batter to homer twice in a Series game.Oh, I dont think Ive ever had a night like that, Perez said.He has three home runs in 27 at-bats during the postseason after hitting three in 153 during the regular season.Ive come a long ways, Perez said,Francisco Lindor added three hits as the Indians improved to 8-1 this postseason. Cleveland manager Terry Francona is 9-0 in the Series, including sweeps by his Boston teams in 2004 and `07.The Game 1 winner has taken the title in the last six Series and 17 of 19.I have no concerns, Cubs manager Joe Maddon said. Its the first game. Im fine. Were fine.Trevor Bauer, trying to come back from a sliced pinkie caused by a freak drone accident, starts Game 2 for the Indians on Wednesday night against Jake Arrieta. Because the forecast called for an increased chance of rain later in the evening, Major League Baseball took the extraordinary step of moving up the first pitch by an hour to 7:08 p.m.Kluber painted the corners, and 24 of his 59 strikes were called by plate umpire Larry Vanover. Twelve batters were caught looking, including seven Cubs.I think his ball was moving too much today, said Perez, Clevelands catcher. We got guys off balance the whole night.Kluber combined with Miller and Cody Allen to fan 15 -- two shy of the Series record for a nine-inning game -- and Chicago went 2 for 15 with 10 strikeouts with runners on base.With the Indians hoping for their first title since 1948 and the Cubs seeking their first since 1908, Lester stumbled in the opening inning.He entered 3-0 with a 0.43 ERA in three Series starts and got his first two outs on five pitches before Cleveland loaded the bases with two outs. Jose Ramirez had a run-scoring swinging bunt single and Brandon Guyer was hit by a pitch -- he led the majors with 31 during the regullar season.ddddddddddddThere is an importance on small ball, but you cant try to hit a swinging bunt. Thats a little bit of good fortune, Francona said. Then Guyer got hit, which he is really good at.Perez connected in the fourth for a 3-0 lead.When youre going against a guy like Kluber whos locked in from pitch one, to give up two in the first, that makes it tough, Lester said.Teams that combined for 174 seasons of futility, Americas biggest droughts since the Great Plains Dust Bowl of the 1930s, captivated even many non-baseball fans.On a night of civic pride, LeBron James and the NBAs Cavaliers received their championship rings next door prior to their season opener, and Cleveland hosted a World Series opener for the first time.The Cubs had not played in the Series since five weeks after Japan signed the Instrument of Surrender ending World War II.Kluber, whose win in the All-Star Game gave the AL home-field advantage in the Series, improved to 3-1 in the postseason and lowered his ERA to a sparkling 0.74.He was pitching on six days rest, and his two-seam fastball darted through the strike zone. Kluber struck out nine in six innings and walked none.Kyle Schwarber, making a surprise return in his first big league game since tearing knee ligaments on April 7, doubled off the right-field wall in the fourth -- a drive kept in by a stiff wind on a 50-degree night. Kluber then got Javier Baez to fly out.Zobrists leadoff double in the seventh finished Kluber, and Cleveland loaded the bases with no outs against Miller on Schwarbers walk and Baezs single. Pinch-hitter Willson Contreras flied to Rajai Davis in short center, and Davis threw home rather than double up Schwarber, who had strayed far off second.Using his intimidating slider, Miller struck out Addison Russell and David Ross to escape the jam, stranded runners at the corners in the eighth by fanning Schwarber with his 46th pitch, his most in five years. Miller has thrown 20 scoreless innings in postseason play, including 13 2/3 innings with 24 strikeouts this year.Allen worked the ninth to close it out.Ramirez also had three hits each for the Indians, who beat Toronto in the ALCS despite hitting just .168. Zobrist had three hit for the Cubs.Lester gave up three runs, six hits and three walks in 5 2/3 innings. He was rattled by Vanovers calls, barking at the umpire in the third, then stopping for a discussion at the innings end.Im confident. I know our guys are, too, Schwarber said. We put up good at-bats against those guys today. We just didnt come up with a knock when we needed to.UP NEXTWhile Arrieta went 18-8 with a 3.10 ERA during the regular season, he struggled to a 5.01 ERA in his final four starts. He allowed four runs over five innings in Game 3 of the NLCS.Bauer lasted only two outs in his ALCS when his pinkie began bleeding.THEYRE BACKDexter Fowler took a called third strike from Kluber leading off the game, becoming the first Cubs player to bat in the Series since Don Johnson hit into a game-ending forceout against Detroits Hal Newhouser in Game 7 in 1945.TAKE A SEATChicago benched right fielder Jason Heyward, in a 2-for-28 postseason slump, and started Chris Coghlan.
