A week ago, the AL Central was tied. A week later, the Royals are now in third place and the Guardians magic number to clinch the division is 20 with 23 games to play.

Today's show talks about the Guardians finally kicking things into gear at the right time after weeks of waiting for them to find the right direction again.

We also get into how Tanner Bibee showed growth and found another gear in a big start vs the Royals.

Also discussed is Brayan Rocchio's big night for the Guardians and how the offense looked like the version from the first two months of the season.

We get into how Kyle Manzardo has lengthened this lineup and also some math about what it will take for the Guardians to finish off clinching the AL Central the rest of the way.
