guardians al central vogt rocchio.

It was fitting in many ways that Brayan Rocchio hit the walk-off homer that put an exclamation point on the Cleveland Guardians’ historic run to an AL Central title. Even though Cleveland had secured its 13th division crown in the eighth inning when Boston beat Detroit, the Guardians weren’t content to let the AL Central race finish in a tie and win it on a tiebreaker. Cleveland rallied from two runs down to force extra innings. Texas pinch-hitter Rowdy Tellez put the Rangers up 8-5 with a three-run homer in the 10th, but the Guardians came back again with Bo Naylor’s RBI double in the bottom half and then Rocchio’s three-run drive down the right-field line that hit the foul pole and gave them a 9-8 victory.
