Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 17 Oct, 02:32 · Archive

Game 4 of the American League Championship Series was postponed because of rain Friday night. The Tampa Bay Rays and Cleveland Guardians will resume their series Saturday at 8 p.m. ET, with Game 5 on Sunday at Progressive Field and Game 6 in St. Petersburg, Florida, on Monday if necessary. This is the first time an ALCS game has been postponed since 2019.

The Guardians have a 2-1 lead in the series after Petey Halpin's two-run homer propelled them to a 3-2 victory in Game 3 on Thursday afternoon. Guardians manager Stephen Vogt may change his plans for Saturday after initially planning a bullpen game for Friday, with Shawn Armstrong as the opener. Foster Griffin, who started Game 1 on Monday and allowed two runs in five innings, could pitch instead. Tampa Bay was slated to go with Nick Martinez.

The teams might play the final four games without a day off, culminating in a potential Game 7 on Tuesday. The winner will face the Milwaukee Brewers in the World Series, beginning at home on 23 October. Milwaukee swept the Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League Championship Series on Thursday night and is in the Fall Classic for the first time since 1982.
