It is finally done. The Chicago White Sox have clinched the American League Central Division by defeating the Cleveland Indians in game one of Thursday’s doubleheader. It was an amazing game thanks to an early outburst of offense by the White Sox highlighted by big home runs from Tim Anderson, Luis Robert, and Eloy Jimenez.
It took a little bit longer than expected thanks to some rain and good play by the Detroit Tigers but the White Sox are finally division champions. Doing it on Cleveland’s field is something special because they have been one of the classes of the division for a long time.
