Contrary to what one may believe based on the national coverage, the Cleveland Indians are indeed heading to the American League Championship Series after sweeping the Boston Red Sox Monday night.
Game 2 was a comfortable 6-0 win for the Indians thanks to the dominance of Corey Kluber, but Games 1 and 3 were one-run victories that were won thanks to the contributions of some unlikely heroes.
Andrew Miller and Cody Allen were two of the expected sources of success, but the offense was led by some players who are not often considered major threats on the team.
