It had to happen sooner or later. The Cleveland Indians lost a game. They fell 4-3 to the Kansas City Royals 24 hours after a comeback extra innings walk off win.
However, the Minnesota Twins lost to the Toronto Blue Jays reducing the Tribe's magic number to 2. The Indians could clinch the AL Central as early as tomorrow.
In just over three weeks, the Indians expanded their AL Central lead from 4.5 to 13.5 games and now own the best record in the AL and for good measure set the AL record for consecutive wins without a tie. At worst, the Indians will play the AL Wild Card game should they falter over the fortnight. But losses for the Indians are likely to be the exception rather than the rule.
