If you’re watching the 2016 World Series, here is how you could win a free taco from Taco Bell.

On Tuesday night, the 2016 World Series got underway in Cleveland, OH. It featured Game 1 between the Cleveland Indians and Chicago Cubs, two teams who have gone decades without making the World Series. For the Cubs, it has been over a century, so there is plenty of anticipation around this historic matchup.

While the World Series is highly-anticipated, so is something that goes along with it. This isn’t a specific player or team, not even Steve Bartman potentially showing his face, it’s about getting a free taco.

A promotion for the 2016 World Series offered everyone in the United States a free Doritos Locos Taco if someone steals a base in the World Series. The rules were simple, if someone steals a base, the consumer can visit a Taco Bell anywhere from 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. the next day to receive a free Doritos Locos Taco. No purchase is necessary.

It didn’t take long, Indians star Francisco Lindor stole a base in the first inning of Game 1 of the World Series, so fans can to go their local Taco Bell to pick up a free taco.

Given the speed of players in this series like Lindor, Rajai Davis, and Dexter Fowler, there should be plenty more free tacos to come. If anything, there could be one after every game in this World Series.

Aside from the 2016 Fall Classic’s free tacos, the Cubs vs. Indians should be a fun series pitting two talented teams head to head. Chicago has a handful of young stars that could be seen in the Fall Classic for years to come. Cleveland also has pitchers like Corey Kluber and Andrew Miller leading the way. So, who could come out on top and give fans some free tacos?
