The Guardians Were 'on Fumes' to Close Out the AL Central, and Now They Get a Bye to Recover
- On Saturday, the Cleveland Guardians clinched their third straight American League Central title with an 11-5 victory over the Kansas City Royals at Kauffman Stadium.
- Simply winning was insufficient to secure the division; the Guardians required a loss from the Chicago White Sox, which the Colorado Rockies delivered with a 9-6 victory.
- Patrick Bailey and Brayan Rocchio each hit two of Cleveland's five home runs, while Nathaniel Lowe added four RBIs to support starter Tanner Bibee in the decisive win.
- The division title guarantees the Guardians the second seed in the American League playoffs and a first-round bye into the best-of-five American League Division Series.
- Cleveland finished a strong September surge, going 16-8 to separate from the White Sox, who struggled to an 11-13 record during their first losing month since March.
