Indians Secure 4th Seed for Playoffs with Victory and White Sox Loss, To Host Yankees

By Jared Edwards

The Cleveland Indians will be the fourth seed in the American League Playoffs after an 8-6 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Cleveland will host the New York Yankees on Tuesday for the first game of their Wild Card Series. All three games will be played in Cleveland.

This was a hard-fought game that saw the Indians throw a bullpen game instead of sending out a traditional starter. Cal Quantrill got the start but went only three innings giving up two runs on four hits.

Those two runs for the Pirates came on a single from Jose Osuna that scored JT Riddle in the second and a solo blast to center from Ke’Bryan Hayes in the third.
