Indians white hot start has them way out in front already

The Cleveland Indians have already put some distance between them and their division rivals, as they started out to a red hot 11-0 record before finally dropping their first game yesterday. The run has the tribe already 5.5 games in the division. While the defending champion Kansas City Royals find themselves already 8.0 games back as a result. It's always said pennants aren't won in April, but this start will surely aid the Indians in making the post season with their upstart club. They'll see if they can continue their nice start this week with a home series against the Seattle Mariners before hitting the road to take on Division rivals the Tigers, and Twins.
