CLEVELAND -- Thanks to a dominant outing from right-hander Carlos Carrasco and three home runs from the offense, the Indians reached 100 wins on the season, defeating the Twins, 5-2, in Thursday's series finale at Progressive Field.
The victory for the Indians marked only the third time in club history that they have reached 100 wins in a single season. The only other 100-win seasons in Tribe history came in 1995 when it went 100-44 in a strike-shortened season, and in 1954, when it won a franchise-record 111 games. Both teams ended up reaching the World Series.
