3.) 2017 Cleveland Indians Will Go Down in History
With Friday’s victory over the White Sox, the Indians won their 101st game of the season. This is the second most wins in Indians history behind the 1954 Cleveland Indians that went 111-43.
The Indians now officially have the most wins by a team in the AL Central division since the start of the AL Central in 1994.
The Indians run differential increased following their 10-1 victory to an MLB best +253, +253 is the second highest mark in Indians history since +272 in 1948.
Indians pitching struck out 13 batters which extended their MLB record for most double-digit strikeout games to 91 this year.
In the month of September, Cleveland is 25-3. This is the most wins in a calendar month since going 26-6 in August of 1954.
The Indians scored 10 runs tonight for the 23rd time this season reaching double digits. With 23 games of 10+ runs scored, this ties them with the Houston Astros for most in the Major Leagues. This is the most games the Indians scored 10+ runs since also accomplishing this 23 times in the 2000 season.
As mentioned earlier, the Indians lowered their magic number to 1 and with a win tomorrow or a Houston loss will guarantee that the Indians have the No.1 seed in the American League.
Tomorrow the Cleveland Indians will be sending Corey Kluber to the hill and will be opposed by Carson Fulmer. The game on Saturday will be sold out. First pitch is expected to be at 7:10 PM EST and can be seen on SportsTime Ohio.
