CLEVELAND — On Tuesday night, the Cleveland Guardians, who were already crowned American League Central champions, secured a first-round bye in the 2024 MLB Postseason after defeating the Cincinnati Reds 6-1.
With four games remaining in the regular season, the Guards are currently the No. 2 seed in the AL, trailing the New York Yankees by 1.5 games.
