CLEVELAND – After surrounding a 4-1 lead on Saturday night to put them back to a game behind the Rays for the second wild card spot, the Indians will wake up Monday all tied up with Tampa with six games to play.
The results of Sunday could not have been any better for the Wahoo’s, as the Tribe pounded the Phillies 10-1 at Progressive Field, while Terry Francona’s old team, the Red Sox, helped the Indians with a win in Tampa over the Rays.
What it all means that the road to the wild card will come down to the final week of play, with the Indians starting that trek on Tuesday night when they travel to play the White Sox in Chicago.
