Win one more and there’s a solid chance the Indians can play games one and two of the ALDS at Progressive Field. Win two more games and it’s a sure thing no matter what.
Saturday night the Tribe took a huge step forward in clinching the overall number two seed in the American League for the postseason, and also playing the first two games of the American League Divisional Series at Progressive Field on Thursday and Friday.
The actions that allowed the Indians to take control of their own destiny in terms of home field were pretty simple – a 6-3 road win over the Royals in Kansas City, and a Toronto Blue Jays 4-3 win over the Red Sox at Fenway Park in Boston Saturday night.
