Cleveland Indians sweep Tigers, tie Rays for second Wild Card spot

The Cleveland Indians are back in the playoff picture after sweeping the Detroit Tigers.

The Indians are tied with the Tampa Bay Rays for the second Wild Card spot after picking up win No. 18 against the Tigers in 2019. If the Indians do end up making the playoffs, fans may have to send some thank you notes up north to Michigan.

The Indians have become the first team in the Divisional Era (since 1969) to win 18 games against a single opponent in one season after tonight's 7-0 victory over the Tigers.

Cleveland is now tied with Tampa Bay for the second Wild Card spot.
