Quality pitching and a hot September at the plate erased a MLB record 15.5 game deficit to Detroit for their second straight division crown, but the Guardians fell to those Tigers in the first round of the playoffs. "The last 10 years they've had the fourth best record in baseball and been to the playoffs seven times," Ideastream Public Media sports commentator Terry Pluto said.
