Guardians vs. Tigers ALDS: MLB moves pivotal Game 5 up to avoid inclement weather in Cleveland
Game 5 between the Guardians and Tigers at Progressive Field is an elimination game. The winner will face the New York Yankees in the Championship Series, and the loser will go home. The ALCS will begin Monday at Yankee Stadium. Postponing Saturday's Game 5 to Sunday would eliminate a travel day for the winner, which MLB tries to avoid.
