Bailey and Rocchio homered twice each in Cleveland’s 11-5 win over Kansas City, putting the Guardians’ AL Central magic number at one. Saturday’s White Sox-Rockies result could determine whether Cleveland needs a Sunday win to clinch the title and the AL’s No. 2 seed.
After falling behind 3-0 in the first, Cleveland answered with 14 hits, nine for extra bases. Nathaniel Lowe drove in four, including a two-run single in the ninth; Tanner Bibee allowed three earned runs on seven hits over six innings and struck out six, settling down after the first.
