Like the East, the AL Central changed hands over the last seven days. Cleveland followed their four-game sweep in Minnesota with three wins in four games in Baltimore early last week. However, the Twins swept the Indians in three games in Cleveland over the weekend, and jumped back into the top spot in the division. Minnesota allowed just two runs in the three contests, and shut the Tribe out on both Friday and Sunday.
