Summary
Friday night's ALCS Game 4 in Cleveland was called off late because rain never cleared, moving first pitch to 8 p.m. ET Saturday.
The postponement also shifts Game 5 to 5 p.m. Sunday, wiping out the series' planned off-day and setting up four straight games if it reaches Game 7.
Cleveland still leads the best-of-seven 2-1 after Thursday's 3-2 Game 3 win, and the original pitching plan remains intact: Nick Martinez for Tampa Bay, Shawn Armstrong opening for the Guardians.
Milwaukee already clinched the NL pennant Thursday and now waits with a week off before World Series Game 1 on Oct. 23, giving the ALCS winner a tighter turnaround.
