CLEVELAND — Just a week ago, José Ramírez’s name may have been on a few people’s radars as a potential American League MVP candidate. But just in the past seven days, he’s made sure his name is going to be heavily considered, as he launched a walk-off homer in the bottom of the 10th inning to help the Tribe clinch a 2020 postseason berth.

Ramírez waved his hands in the air and the Tribe’s dugout took just seconds to empty and meet him at home plate. The three-run blast lifted the Indians to a 5-3 victory over the White Sox at Progressive Field.
