Cleveland Indians: 5 most memorable September moments since 2010

The night after setting an AL Record with 21-straight wins, 30,874 packed Progressive Field to see if the Indians could make a run at the Giants 26-game MLB record set in 1916.

In the bottom of the ninth, it appeared the Indians streak was set to end at 21 as Francisco Lindor stepped to the plate with two-out and one-man on base against Royals two-time all-star and World Series champion closer Kelvin Herrera.

Instead, the Indians’ magic continued as Lindor lined a clutch double to tie the ball-game and send Progressive Field into a euphoria.

After a scoreless tenth from Cody Allen, the Indians wasted no-time in extras as in the bottom half of the inning, Jay Bruce ripped a walk-off double to score Jose Ramirez and clinch a 22nd straight Indians win.

The Cleveland streak would end at 22 as the Royals won the following game and eventually, the Indians saw their season end in a disappointing five-game ALDS against the Yankees, but Bruce’s walk-off doesn’t just rank as the most memorable September moment in recent memory but perhaps one of the biggest hits in team history.
