The Detroit Tigers and Cleveland Guardians now know when they’ll square off in their do-or-die matchup. Game 3 of the American League Wild Card series has officially been pushed back to a 3:08 p.m. first pitch on Thursday, and you’ll be able to catch it live on ABC instead of ESPN.
Originally, the decisive game was set for a 1:08 p.m. start, but the schedule had to wait on the conclusion of the Dodgers-Reds series. Los Angeles wrapped up a sweep of Cincinnati just after midnight on Wednesday, clearing the way for MLB to reset Thursday’s playoff slate.
For the Tigers, the later start time means a bit more rest and a chance to soak in the energy of an afternoon playoff crowd. For fans, it means clearing the schedule at 3:08 and settling in for what promises to be a high-drama October game.
Bottom line: it’s all on the line, and now the time is set. Tigers. Guardians. One game for a ticket to the ALDS.
