Rain forces Game 4 delay in Guardians-Rays playoff series; Bazzana waits
An ALCS game was postponed by rain, with Bazzana's Guardians leading 2-1.
Game 4 of the American League Championship Series between the Cleveland Guardians and Tampa Bay Rays was postponed due to rain. The match will now be played on Saturday (Sunday AEDT), with Game 5 following on Sunday at Progressive Field.
Travis Bazzana's Guardians lead the best-of-seven series two games to one after winning Game 3 with a 3-2 victory. Saturday's game is the first ALCS postponement since 2019.
