The Indians tonight became the first team in MLB history to lose 10 games in a row and win 10 games in a row in the same season, 3 times. During their win streak, they have gone from having a .1 percent chance of making the playoffs to a .4 percent chance. Get ready to start buying those playoff tickets, Tribe fans!

In all seriousness, it's nice to see this streak after the way this team has played this year. Missing their two biggest run producers as well as 3/5ths of their opening day rotation, they have finally started hitting, the starters have been doing well and their bullpen has actually improved a little. I felt that when they started this winning streak that while being out of it, there was no reason they couldn't fight to finish over .500. Now they are 2 games under it for the first time since May 21st.

Gibson swings, and a fly ball to deep right field! This is gonna be a home run! Unbelievable! A home run for Gibson! And the Dodgers have won the game, 5 to 4; I don't believe what I just saw! I don't believe what I just saw!
