CLEVELAND — The Guardians failed to take care of their own business i n Cleveland Sept. 26 , but they did receive some help in the form of a game-winning triple off the wall in the ninth inning in Boston.

Just a few moments before the Guardians officially lost 7-3 to the Texas Rangers , the Red Sox 's Ceddanne Rafaela drilled a ball off the centerfield wall at Fenway Park for a walk-off win over the Detroit Tigers .

It meant that despite the loss that became official a few minutes later, the Guardians at least retained control of their own destiny for another day. The Tigers loss not only brought Cleveland's magic number to win the division down to two, but it clarified some of the Guardians' potential paths in the playoff races with two games remaining.
