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.

Houston loaded the bases on a walk and a single against Keegan Akin with no outs in the 11th. Jeremy Pena scored the go-ahead run on a sacrifice fly by Yordan Alvarez. Alex Bregman was hit by a pitch to reload the bases and Kyle Tucker drew a walk to make it 4-2. Yuli Gurriel struck out, but Vasquez lined a two-run single to center.

Springer went 3-for-4 with a walk, two runs and three RBIs. Teoscar Hernandez launched a mammoth two-run shot, and Alejandro Kirk ripped a solo homer as Toronto won its second straight game after dropping a pair to open the four-game series. Cincinnati scored the tying run by piecing together a rally in the fourth. Stuart Fairchild led off with a single against Aaron Ashby. Fairchild was forced on a grounder by Alejo Lopez before Ashby walked Aristides Aquino and Matt Reynolds to load the bases and plunked Austin Romine to force home Lopez.

The Tigers tied the game on Victor Reyes' RBI double in the seventh against reliever Reynaldo Lopez. Detroit took the lead in the eighth against Kendall Graveman. Jeimer Candelario followed Schoop's RBI single with a run-scoring single of his own. Detroit secured its fourth series sweep and first since taking four games from Cleveland from July 4-6.

The Padres jumped on Colorado starter Kyle Freeland . Kim led off the game with a double, Machado singled and Freeland hit Drury to load the bases. An errant pickoff throw to third by Elias Diaz scored the first run, Jake Cronenworth hit a sacrifice fly and Myers doubled to make it 3-0.
