Summary

Friday's Game 4 of the ALCS between the Cleveland Guardians and Tampa Bay Rays faces potential weather disruptions, with forecasts predicting light rain until 7 p.m. ET, just an hour before the scheduled first pitch. The Guardians, currently leading the series 2-1 after a 3-2 victory on Thursday, would benefit from a rain-out, allowing them to start Foster Griffin in Game 4 instead of opting for a bullpen game with Shawn Armstrong.
