Friday's 5-4 victory against the Minnesota Twins drops the Cleveland Indians' magic number to clinch the American League Central Division to 17.
Cleveland's lead in the AL Central over the second-place Detroit Tigers stands at six games with 22 to play. The Tigers rallied to defeat the visiting Baltimore Orioles on Friday, 4-3 on Victor Martinez's home run in the 8th inning.
Any combination of Indians wins plus losses by the second-place Tigers that is greater than or equal to 17 will clinch the division title for Cleveland.
The Indians (82-58) continue their final series of the season against the Twins on Saturday at 7:10 as Mike Clevinger faces Hector Santiago.
