Detroit Tigers vs. Cleveland Guardians in divisional playoff series
Tigers continue playoff roll after sweeping Astros
The Tigers swept Houston with a 5-2 win in Game 2 on Wednesday, setting up a playoff date with the Guardians.
(FOX 2) - Detroit swept Houston in the American League's wildcard playoff series as Major League Baseball's best story line continued its march into October.
Up next: The Cleveland Guardians.
Cleveland earned a 1st-round bye after winning the AL Central division with a 92-69 record, which was the second-best in the league. They'll pose an even bigger challenge for the Tigers after romping through the regular season.
But Detroit has been MLB's best team since the All-Star break and their momentum could carry them further than any expected.
