Guardians-Tigers ALDS Game 5 has been moved to Saturday afternoon

Rainy weather has prompted MLB to move up Game 5 of the American League Division Series between the Cleveland Guardians and Detroit Tigers, the league announced Friday.

Instead of starting at 8:08 PM ET on Saturday, first pitch at Progressive Field in Cleveland will be at 1:08 PM ET.

In Cleveland, intermittent rain is expected in the afternoon and rain overnight, according to the Weather Network.

The Guardians won a back-and-forth affair 5-4 on Thursday to force the fifth and deciding game of the series. David Fry hit the franchise’s first go-ahead hit, a pinch-hit home run to secure the road win.

The winner of Saturday’s game will meet the New York Yankees in the American League Championship Series, which begins Monday evening in The Bronx.
