The Indians would go on to earn the top Wild card berth in the American League; thanks to a 10 game winning streak that was part of a 21-6 record in the month of September. However, they would lose the American League Wild Card playoff game to the Tampa Bay Rays. Prior to joining the Indians, Francona had spent seven seasons with the Boston Red Sox with whom he won two World Series championships in 2004 and 2007.
