Doggone impressive ...

Since around the beginning of June, Cleveland has erased a Minnesota lead of 11 1/2 games in the A.L. Central Division WITHOUT the full complement of their top three starters -- Cory Kluber (broken arm), Carlos Carrassco (leukemia), and Trevor Bauer (traded). Granted, Bauer was with the team until the trading deadline, but still, that's a doggone impressive run.

The best record in baseball since June 1.

The best bullpen (by ERA) in baseball.

This was supposed to be a "rebuilding" year.
