Indians Move on to League Championship Series
The Cleveland Indians outclassed the Kansas City Royals in all facets of the game throughout the AL Divisional Series.

The end result was a Cleveland series sweep to advance to the League Championship Series, capped off by a 6-5 win in the final game.

"We're a bit surprised it's over in a sweep, to be honest with you," said center fielder Kevin Kiermaier, who hit .375 in the series.

Kiermaier's standout effort garnered him MVP honors. He also put up a .375 on-base percentage and had 2 home runs, drove in 4 RBI and scored 5 runs.

The Cleveland Indians don't know who they will face in the next round. They will play the winner of the Arizona Diamondbacks - Texas Rangers series. That series is tied at 2 games apiece. The League Championship Series schedule will be announced after the Divisional Series finishes.
