Red Sox-Guardians Series Opener Postponed, Doubleheader Set Saturday

The Cleveland Guardians' home game against the Boston Red Sox, originally scheduled for Friday night, was postponed due to inclement weather in the area. Instead, the teams will play a split doubleheader on Saturday, with games set for 1:10 p.m. and 6:10 p.m. ET. Fans holding tickets for the rained-out Friday game can use them for entry to the first game on Saturday, but not for the evening matchup. The postponement provides Cleveland's heavily used bullpen with an extra day of rest, which could benefit their pitching staff for the demanding doubleheader. The series marks the first meeting between the clubs this season, with the Guardians trailing the Detroit Tigers by half a game in the AL Central. Pitching matchups for the rescheduled games had not yet been confirmed at the time of the announcement.
