3. Century Mark
The Indians reached the 100-win mark for the third time in franchise history (1954, 111 wins; 1995 100 wins).
With the win, the team matches the regular-season record for wins by an AL Central team. The record was, of course, set by the 1995 Indians.
While it’s clearly an accomplishment, the team is obviously focused on larger goals.
“We need to keep winning because Houston is,” Francona said after the win. “And I’m not downplaying it because it’s really cool, I’m proud of our guys. It’s meaningful … and we have hopefully a lot more baseball ahead of us. But I think it’s OK to take a minute and be proud of what the guys have done.”

“It’s something special, for all of us it’s a big accomplishment,” Lindor said. “But, we all understand that that’s not our goal. Our goal is to make it to the playoffs, and then once we’re in the playoffs its go as deep as we can into the playoffs. … It’s something amazing, special that will be there for a very long time but we’re just enjoying it and focusing on our daily job, which is trying to win.”
