The Indians completed a three-game sweep of Boston on Monday night in the American League Division Series to advance to the ALCS for the first time since 2007.
The Indians will host the first game of the American League Championship Series on Friday against the Toronto Blue Jays at Progressive Field.
Roberto Perez seemed to be everywhere last night as the Indians beat the Red Sox in game one of the ALDS. He hit home runs, he was involved in plays at the plate, he was tagging up when he shouldn’t have and brought back memories of Carlos Baerga with a slide into second base that hurt to watch.
The series continues this afternoon at 4:30 at Progressive Field.
For the first time in 6 years we’ve got October baseball here in Cleveland! Yesterday afternoon the Indians won their 10th straight game and in the process clinched the top spot in the American League wild card race. They’ll host the wild card game on Wednesday evening against either the Tampa Bay Rays of the Texas Rangers. Let’s make sure The Jake (Progressive Field) is packed… Let’s Go Tribe!!!
Will you be at the corner of Carnegie and Ontario on Wednesday night? I know I will!!!
