BOSTON — José De León pitched a career-high 6 2/3 innings in his first outing in two years, and Masataka Yoshida and David Hamilton homered on Sunday to give the Boston Red Sox a 4-3 victory over the Detroit Tigers that clinched the AL Central title for the Cleveland Guardians.
De León, called up from Triple-A so the Red Sox could line up their starters for the wild-card round, allowed three runs on eight hits and three walks.
Chris Paddack (5-12) allowed four runs on seven hits and four walks while striking out four in 4 1/3 innings.
