  • Game 4 postponed from Friday to Saturday due to rain
  • Games 4-7 now run Saturday-Tuesday with no off day between Games 5 and 6
  • Pitching plans may change, with Game 1 starters available on full rest

The Cleveland Guardians lead the Tampa Bay Rays 2-1 in the American League Championship Series after winning Game 3 on Thursday.

MLB postponed Game 4 at Progressive Field from Friday to Saturday night because of persistent rain and cold weather in Cleveland.

“MLB has postponed Game 4 of the ALCS between the Rays and Guardians until tomorrow.”

— Fox Sports: MLB

Games 4 through 7 are now scheduled from Saturday to Tuesday with no off day between Games 5 and 6.

The Rays had planned to start right-hander Nick Martinez, while the Guardians expected a bullpen game with Shawn Armstrong as the opener.

The delay lets managers bring back Game 1 starters on full rest, with Tampa Bay potentially turning to Drew Rasmussen and Cleveland possibly using Foster Griffin.
