The Cleveland Guardians completed a three-game sweep of the Texas Rangers and clinched the American League Central Division title with a 10–4 victory Sunday afternoon in Arlington, Texas.

The Guardians’ seventh straight win, combined with the Detroit Tigers’ 4–1 defeat of the Chicago White Sox, gave the franchise its first division crown since 2018. Steven Kwan capped a three-hit game with his first career grand slam, and the rookie drove in five runs.
