Today in Baseball History:
- 2017 - The Indians tie the American League record for consecutive victories when they defeat Detroit, 2 - 0, for their 20th straight win. The record had been set by the 2002 Oakland Athletics in the season depicted in the book and movie Moneyball. Corey Kluber pitches a five-hit shutout to lead Cleveland while Francisco Lindor hits a lead-off homer off Matt Boyd in the 1st.

- And still a shot at the division, too...
A's now 2 games behind the Yankees for the first wild-card spot. Yankees have to face the Red Sox six more times and the Rays, a team they're 7-8 against this season, for a three-game series. A WC game in Oakland is very much in play.

This is the controversial 2-run homer from Starlin Rodriguez in the 7th that broke a 3-3 tie, gave @IBLBaycats the lead for good in their series clinching game, and drew the ire of the Panthers. #IBLFinals #IBL100 #batflip pic.twitter.com/kWxuxO6Z7U
