Brayan Rocchio's 3-Run Homer in the 10th Gives AL Central Champion Cleveland Guardians a 9-8 Win over Texas Rangers

The Guardians completed the largest comeback in MLB history for a division title, winning their 13th AL Central crown with their ninth walk-off victory this season.

  • On Sunday, Brayan Rocchio hit a three-run homer in the 10th that produced a 9-8 victory over the Texas Rangers, ending the game immediately as an extra-innings walk-off.
  • After trailing Detroit by midseason, Cleveland Guardians began their comeback, completing the largest division rally in MLB history, surpassing the 1978 Yankees.
  • With Texas up 8-5 in the 10th, Rowdy Tellez hit a three-run homer off Zak Kent, but Petey Halpin walked before Rocchio’s walk-off homer off Jose Corniell tied the game earlier.
  • Cleveland clinched the AL Central championship, securing a postseason berth and will host the Detroit Tigers in Game 1 of a best-of-three Wild Card Series on Tuesday.
  • The title is Cleveland Guardians' 13th AL Central crown and first back-to-back since the 2016-18 stretch, and the head-to-head tiebreaker would have secured the division if tied.
