### Rain Forecast Shifts Game 5 Start Time of ALDS Between Guardians and Tigers

Due to expected rainy conditions, Major League Baseball has decided to reschedule the start time for Game 5 of the American League Division Series featuring the Cleveland Guardians and Detroit Tigers. Originally set to commence at 8:08 p.m. ET on Saturday, the game will now begin at 1:08 p.m. ET at Progressive Field in Cleveland.

The Weather Network predicts intermittent showers during the afternoon and heavier rain through the night, which influenced the league's decision to adjust the schedule. This change aims to avoid the more severe weather anticipated later in the day and to ensure the game is played with minimal disruptions.

In a thrilling contest on Thursday, the Guardians managed a critical 5-4 victory, pushing the series into a decisive fifth game. Key to their win was David Fry, who hit the team's first ever go-ahead pinch-hit home run, securing the victory away from home.

The stakes are high for both teams, as the winner on Saturday will advance to face the New York Yankees in the American League Championship Series. This next round is set to kick off on Monday night in The Bronx.
