The 2025 Cleveland Guardians season was the 125th season for the franchise, which competes in the American League of Major League Baseball (MLB). On July 6, they were 15.5 games back of the first place Detroit Tigers and were as many as 11 games back on September 4. [1] However, the Guardians surged while the Tigers collapsed and took the American League Central lead on September 23 with a win over the Tigers. With the Guardians having trailed Detroit by 15.5 games in July, this ranked as the largest divisional comeback in MLB history. [2] [3] In addition to the historic division comeback, the Guardians also became the fifth team to make the playoffs while being sub-.500 on September 4 or later. [4]

Contents

On September 27, with a walk-off win over the Texas Rangers, the Guardians clinched a postseason berth, taking the sixth and final postseason spot in the American League. On September 28, with the Tigers' loss to the Red Sox, the Guardians clinched the American League Central division for the second consecutive time and the sixth time in ten years (2016–2018, 2022, 2024–2025). However, they lost to the Tigers in the Wild Card Series.

On July 1, 2025, Cleveland Guardians pitcher Gavin Williams recorded an unusual inning against the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field, retiring three baserunners via “non-plate appearance outs” in one inning; one at home plate and two on pickoffs at first base—marking the first such occurrence for Cleveland since at least 1920, and the first in MLB since April 13, 1985.
