DETROIT, Mich. — Major League Baseball has moved up the starting time for Saturday’s Detroit Tigers-Cleveland Guardians playoff showdown.
Originally scheduled for 8:08 p.m. Saturday, the first pitch of Game 5 of the American League Division Series is now slated for 1:08 p.m. at Progressive Field in Cleveland, Ohio.
MLB made the announced Friday afternoon “due to the forecasted inclement weather in Cleveland.”
