CLEVELAND — There was champagne chilling on ice for them, bottles and bottles of bubbly and beer.
But before the Cleveland Indians partied after winning a second straight AL Central title, there was work to be done to complete a week none of them will ever forget.

Not this team.
“We want to win,” Corey Kluber said.
Cleveland’s ace pushed to the front of the Cy Young race with another dominant start and Edwin Encarnacion hit a two-run homer as the Indians, who officially clinched the division crown a day earlier, kept on rolling with a 3-2 victory over the Kansas City Royals.
