Cleveland Guardians ALDS Game 1, Game 2 start time revealed

Cleveland Guardians ALDS Game 1, Game 2 start time revealed

The Cleveland Guardians are eliminated during the Wild Card Series after finishing the regular season with the second-best record in the American League. They spent the week playing simulation games, completing defensive drills and taking batting practice to stay fit for the next round of the postseason.

MLB released the schedule for the first two games of the ALDS on Tuesday night, and that’s when the Guardians will play.

Cleveland will host the first game of the ALDS at Progressive Field, with first pitch at 1:08 PM EST. Game 1 will be broadcast on both TBS and MAX.

The Guardians will then play Game 2 of the series on Monday afternoon with a start time of 4:08 PM EST. This game will also be shown on TBS, Max and truTV.

That’s just one piece of the puzzle for Cleveland’s first postseason appearance since 2022. The team is still waiting to see who their opponent will be in the best-of-five-game series.

The Guardians will play in the ALDS against either the Houston Astros or the Detroit Tigers. The first game of their series took place on Tuesday afternoon and the Tigers cruised to a 3-1 victory behind a Cy Young-type start from star Tarik Skubal.

If the Tigers win on Wednesday afternoon, they will travel to Cleveland to face the Guardians on Saturday. However, if the Astros win Game 2, there will be a winner-take-all Game 3 on Thursday to see who earns the right to play in the ALDS.
