CLEVELAND — The Guardians have a chance to secure a playoff berth Wednesday night.

The Guardians can clinch a spot in the postseason with a win over the Minnesota Twins, along with losses by the Detroit Tigers and Seattle Mariners.

The Mariners don't play until 9:40 p.m. ET, so the Guardians won't be eligible to clinch until, likely, after midnight, even if everything breaks their way.
