Cleveland's Guardians have won the AL Central title. They beat the Texas Rangers 10-4 on Sunday. The team has won 18 of 21 games. It's the first time a division with at least 16 rookies has been won. The Guardians are the youngest team in the major leagues. Their manager Terry Francona is a former player. He's enjoyed this ride with a team that may have surprised early on but is now being viewed as a legitimate World Series threat. His team dropped Indians as their nickname following the 2021 season. Its front office decided to focus on the 2022 season instead.
