CLEVELAND — The Guardians are taking an unexpected season into the postseason. Cleveland clinched one of the AL's six playoff spots Thursday with a 3-2 win in 10 innings over the Minnesota Twins. It was the team's MLB-leading 42nd comeback victory and second straight in extra innings. Under first-year manager Stephen Vogt, Cleveland has been atop the AL Central since April and become one of the season's biggest surprises. Vogt had never even filled out a lineup card before spring training. But he's brought a young team closer together and the Guardians will head into October looking to end the longest active World Series title drought dating to 1948.
