Reliving Every Cleveland Indians Walk-off Win in 2016
The Cleveland Indians know they’re never out of a game, leading all of Major League Baseball with 11 walk-off wins this season. Let’s relive the excitement.
Tuesday night’s 2-1 victory over the Kansas City Royals marked the 11th time in 2016 that the Cleveland Indians won in a walk-off. That total is the most in all of Major League Baseball, and what makes it all the more impressive is how it seems it’s a different player assuming the role of hero each time.

Of the 11 walk-offs, the game-winning run has been driven in by nine different guys, with only Jose Ramirez and Tyler Naquin having done it twice.
“Any given night, it could be anybody,” said Brandon Guyer, the latest to deliver the magic, on Tuesday. “Tonight, it was me. But really, any night, if anyone’s got the opportunity, we all have full confidence that anyone can come through. It’s just really fun to be on a team like that.”
The first walk-off was delivered by Yan Gomes on June 1st, and the line has just kept moving from there. After Gomes, Mike Napoli, Carlos Santana, Jose Ramirez, Francisco Lindor, Tyler Naquin, Jason Kipnis, Lonnie Chisenhall, and Guyer have all had their turn being dogpiled, doused with water, and turned into a human punching bag.
So let’s take a few minutes to relive all the late-inning heroics the Indians have provided.
Yan Gomes walk-off single June 1st
Mike Napoli walk-off sacrifice fly June 2nd
Carlos Santana walk-off home run June 17th
Jose Ramirez walk-off single June 19th
Francisco Lindor walk-off single July 26th
Tyler Naquin walk-off sacrifice fly August 18th
Tyler Naquin walk-off inside-the-park home run August 19th
Jason Kipnis walk-off single August 29th
Lonnie Chisenhall walk-off single September 4th
Jose Ramirez walk-off single September 17th
Brandon Guyer walk-off single September 20th
Cleveland is as resilient a team as MLB has seen in quite some time, and it just begs the question: who will be the next late-inning hero for the Tribe?
