CLEVELAND — The Cleveland Guardians have won the American League Central division, and have done it in historic fashion.
Following a 9-8 win over the Texas Rangers on Sunday with a 3-run walk-off home run by Bryan Rocchio, Cleveland has clinched the division.
Back in July, the Guardians were as far back as 15.5 games, but they have now completed the largest comeback in Major League Baseball history to win a division.
It’s the Guardians' third divisional title in 4 years.
With a Detroit Tigers loss to the Boston Red Sox, Cleveland will be the third seed for the American League playoffs and take home-field advantage for a best-of-three game series.
The Guardians will host the Tigers in Game 1 on Tuesday, Sept. 30.
