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.
With their 7-4 victory over the Tigers on Monday night, the Indians clinched the 2016 AL Central title and they’re back in the playoffs! This is the first time since the 2013 season the Tribe has been to the post season and the first time since 2007 that they’ve won the division.

Indians playoff tickets went on sale the other day and sold out within an hour. Progressive Field should be rocking!
