The Cleveland Indians have officially made history. Today, they won their 21st consecutive game after beating the Detroit Tigers 5-3, setting an American League record.
Jay Bruce and Roberto Perez both hit home runs during the game, and 41 homers overall through their win streak.
The Indians are now tied with the 1935 Chicago Cubs, and if they win Thursday they will be only four games behind the 1916 New York Giants.
